All Is Lost
5/9/03

I used to put my hand down
Ask me one more time
I used to go to bed at nine
Read to me one more time
I used to pull my socks off and wade in the water
Bring me there one more time
I used to climb trees
Yell at me one more time
I used to draw with sidewalk chalk
Move your car out of the way one more time
I used to pretend I had a secret world
Pretend with me one more time
I used to care what other people thought
Criticize me one more time
I used to try to please everyone
Challenge me one more time
I used to ignore those who I wanted to avoid
Provoke me one more time
I used to be able to sleep
Calm me one more time
I used to listen
Tell me one more time
I used to love you
Push me away one more time
I used to be pure
Corrupt me one more time
I used to hide my happiness
Punish me one more time
I used to glisten
You told me not to shine
