Watermelon seeds all on the ground
Don't know what I have found
Life's like an avalanche you keep running down.
Trying to survive anyway how
So you keep on running and hiding
From the slopes of life
Enjoying sweet powder and the face-plants that bite
Cucumbers cover your eyes
That's nothing new to my surprise
Using them to cover what's inside up
Don't wanna look
Just run and hide
So you keep on running and hiding
From the slopes of life
And you keep hiding and hiding
And its causing you strife
She's sweet like honey but your not the sonny
She's looking for
Unsatisfied you candy store
But I understand you are not the whore
So just keep running towards the light of your life
Loving what you do and her hopefully loving you
Watermelon seeds fell in some grass
Growing there is now a plant
Life moves so does the past
Now with you her life's a blast
Cause you stopped running and hiding
From the slopes of life
And started enjoying sweet powder and the face-plants that bite
You started living and giving and loving your life
Loving
So just keep living and giving and living and giving
And living, and giving
And loving your life
There once was a guy just passing by
Now he's got the girl the apple of his eye
Next time I see him strolling by
I think I might stop
And say hi.
