EXTRA BUTTON ON YOUR SHIRT

i think of you as treasure

but you think of me as dirt

and if i were a mineral

i know it wouldn't hurt

you never bow to anyone

i know i must abide

an extra button on your shirt

that hides away inside

the ocean's full of fishes

swiftly swimming up, came i

but yet you had much bigger fish

to catch and gut and fry

you'd think i would be happy

for i wouldn't have to die

an extra button on your shirt

and buried deep, i lie

but life will throw you curve balls

when the pitches seem so straight

when shoes leap to the other foot

you'll roll the dice of fate

and when you're torn asunder

from exposure to your greed

an extra button on your shirt

won't be there when you need
