Stretch My Arms

She stretches out her arms and says
I, I love you this much
I want to tell her how much I care
But I can't stretch my arms long enough

I wish that I could take her far away
And it would just be the two of us
But she needs time to try a bunch of things
And have a bunch of fun

'Cause I ain't been all that fun these days
I just sit around in the Sun
I look at trees and fish and birds and things
And I try to study the birds

I hope she doesn't think the things I feel
Are just, are just a bit too much
I'm afraid that if I open up
She'll pack her things and run
She is run

It ain't easy being small
Wish I could know when I'm in the wrong
Well, I guess my arms weren't long enough
To scoop you up, when times were getting tough

My legs are far too short to run
So I just sat here, waiting, for better times to come
And I couldn't see the problems lie with me
'Cause I have problems with my eyes, and I have a hard time seeing
