Scheherazade – Marlee Labroo

tell me 
the places you want to go 
the things you want to see and 
what you’re doing about it 

tell me 
the things you want to say 
the games you like to play and if 
you’re any good at them 

you ask me, who is he 
that he got so lucky 
and i’m wondering still 
maybe he just got lucky 

tell me 
what do you like to do 
alone in your room when 
nobody’s around you 

tell me 
the kind of girls that you like 
are they different or are they alike 
and what you did with them 

i don’t care 
the wind’s in my ears 
my insomniac lover, do you dare 
do you dare 

tell me 
the way things should be 
do you like mythology or should i 
stick to what’s real 

tell me 
the risks you like to take 
the rules you like to break 
and the reason you do it 

cause i’d rather have 
a thousand stories 
than one sleeping beauty 
alone in her castle 

scheherazade 
tell me your secrets 
i like that your reach 
extends beyond your grasp 

i like that her smile is wider than her face 
i like that her smile is wider than her face 
i like that her smile is wider than her face 
i like that her smile is wider than her face
