Bookend

Maybe I'm a bookend
Not a source of substance
Just something to hold it there
Or maybe I'm your pillow
I can hold your head up
You can push me below, below

Maybe I'm a faucet
The way you're turning me on and on and off again
Like it won't come without cost
You know the bills too high
Try turning off the lights
Before you leave this time
Before you leave my side
Can I decide?

Place me on your nightstand
A part of your collection
That you keep neglecting
Wear me out till I'm complacent
Toss me in the landfill
Or hide me in the basement

Maybe I'm a stovetop
The way you're turning me on and on and off
Like it won't drive up the cost
Gotta keep it low, try turning off the stove
Before you burn this home
Before you burn our home
Our love's overgrown

Maybe I am
Maybe I am
Maybe I am
Maybe I am
Maybe I am
Maybe I am
Maybe I am
Maybe I am
Maybe I am
Maybe I am

Maybe I'm a bookend, maybe I'm a pillow
Maybe I'm a faucet, maybe I'm a window
Maybe I'm a person, maybe I'm a person, maybe I'm a person, maybe I'm a person
Maybe I'm a bookend, maybe I'm a pillow
Maybe I'm a faucet, maybe I'm a window
Maybe I'm a person, maybe I'm a person, maybe I'm a person
Maybe I'm a bookend
Not a source of substance
Just something to hold it there
