Staring up into the solar system
All the stars are fixed up into the sky
I just want to sparkle for a moment
Before i just fizzle up and die

I'm happy because I'm stupid
Scared of spiders, scared of flying
If i wasn't so happy
I wouldnt be so scared of dying

So just be gentle with me
I'm not as young as I was
And I'll be gentle with you
I'm not as brave as I thought
'Cause my heart gets broken so easily
So just be gentle, be gentle with me

Lied awake, waiting like a target
Listening for things I cannot see
Insects flutter up against my window
I don't like the way they look at me

I guess I've always needed to be needed by someone
It's sickened but a feeling
Being under someone's thumb

So just be gentle with me
And if i am ever mean
And I'll be gentle with you
I never mean to be mean
'Cause I want to pick peaches off a cherry tree
So be gentle, be gentle, be gentle, be gentle with me
