Analysis of Indecisive Eveline

Emerald wyder 1999 (Arizona)



I swear, each day you are someone new.
Today you are a snake, spewing venom
From your mouth that I can't live though
Why must you hurt me like you do

Last week you were an icy glacier
You were colder than stone
Wouldn't give me a word, avoided me,
 it cut me to the bone
And just when your mood started to thaw,

You startled me as I saw
Your countenance had changed to something rash
You were taking me by the hand, telling me to jump
I couldn’t keep up, I'm not an adrenaline pump
And now as I watch another day pass

I see that you’re again being flirty
You want to go on sweet dates
That may or may not end a little dirty
Your words to me are sweeter than honey
And again I end up spending quite a bit of money

I just can’t tell what’s with our fate
You’re that on-again off-again girl
That every guy just seems to hate
But I think you're a great whirl.
 I'm stuck to you like glue

Because you’re acting the way that you do
And it may just be because I’m not a pure dove
And just a disclaimer i'm not really sure
But I think I have fallen into a crazed love
I’ve fallen for you, no matter how immature
