Summer’s come and all the squirrels are addicted to morphine
In my room a quiet hermit works on his opus
I have tried but I can’t seem to get along with you
Every time it ends the same no matter what I do
And still you cry all the time Ambrosia
Why can’t we be any closer
It’s a shame that we can’t
It’s a shame that we haven’t
It’s a shame that we never will
Every time we meet I say I’ve known ballerinas
And you say that it’s words like that that put distance between us
And I go on and on about my feelings inside
And you go on and on about something I didn’t do right
And still you cry all the time Ambrosia
Why can’t we be any closer
It’s a shame that we can’t
It’s a shame that we haven’t
It’s a shame that we never will
It’s as if I picked the worst swing in the playground
And all the chains are knotted and I can’t get the seat down
And I look at the other kids and they’re having fun
And I look at myself and I’m having none
And still you cry all the time Ambrosia
Why can’t we be any closer
It’s a shame that we can’t
It’s a shame that we haven’t
It’s a shame that we never will
