CAN I?

Can I lay my head down?

Close my eyes

Wish you away.

Can I forget today?

Can I wish for yesterday?

Can I turn back time?

Can I follow my heart?

Can I seduce you?

Make you do my bidding

Wait until that moment

When you are helpless

Begging me to finish

Leave you in pain

As you curse the day I was born.

Can I make you love me?

When I loathe seeing you everyday.

Can I be me?

Stop pretending

Live the life I want

Not worry about tomorrow

Do whatever I want

When I want.

Can I walk through the mall?

Tears rolling down my face

No tissue to wipe my face.

Can I dance in the rain?

Can I sit in the middle of the highway?

Pretend to meditate.

Can I walk into a restaurant?

Order the most expensive meal

Sit on the table

Take a bite

Not pay the bill.

Can I pick my nose?

Flick whatever comes out

Watch it mix with your food

Watch you eat it

Laugh myself to death.

Can I shout at the top of my voice?

Scream the most obscene words?

Show the finger

Pull down my pants

Show my awesome ass

And not give a damn.

Can I?
