Yellow Basket from Better Life by A Year Afar

You are on my mind
Today
I gave you a yellow basket
Full of all the things you needed
Technological devices
Photographs that make you laugh
And video games

Don't you think I'm
Brave
I gave you a yellow basket
And I watched as you unwrapped it
Out jumped tiny little men
With swords to slay when you summon them
Cuz life's your planet

CHORUS
I'm gatherin all the things all the things
That you want
Tell me that you love
Everything that I got

Wish that I could take
Away
So much already
But I'll just let it be
Cuz we are not as we seem
And the possibility of dreams
Is sittin in my basket

CHORUS
And gatherin all the things all the things
That you want
Tell me that you love
Everything that I got
And if you still think that it is not enough
Just zip your lips
And fake a funny cough

Lover will I stay for a day
Or awhile
