JONI
(written by Kirby Brown and Beau Bedford)
Joni’s like a prizefight, she’s a Cassius Clay with green eyes
Trying to resist me, fighting not to kiss me, and knocking out my lights
She tells me she’s an open book, but that’s such a joke to me
It’s impossible to get her, the pages stick together so nobody can read
Joni is making a fool out of me
I only want to see her smile
If only for a little while
If only for a while
She called me when her daddy died, she told me she was alright,
But she was crying in her pancakes, crying to the fan blades, crying at the Sky
‘Cause she’s just aching for a storybook, a truth that she can tame,
A box to put a gift in, a world she can exist in that doesn’t ever change
Joni is making a fool out of me
I only want to see her smile
If only for a little while
If only for a while
