Arrietty

Coming, one second I'm putting on my shoes Cereal to go In a bowl of milk, splashing in my face Mother waiting in the car, as I'm locking up our place I can't wait, summer break just started We make a road trip every year out to my grandmothers garden There's forest and ponds, with cabin on some acres Grandma always baking and poppa always painting Sometimes I think I see things, maybe I'm dreaming But this year I think I found a secret I wanna know about the miniature world A house in the vines to hide from the squirrels I wanna talk to the miniature girl I swore that I saw her on the window sill I wanna know about the miniaturе life What clothes do they wear, what food do they like? I wish that I could be miniature like The girl that I saw on the window sill Woke up in the morning, early hours A humming bird came and landed in the flowers Another day keeping danger out the garden I keep my knife on my belt nice and sharpened Come to the top of the tree to my tree fort Birdseye view of the yards so I can see more Slingshot for the crows so you're not bird food I just wanna talk, I won't hurt you I wanna know about the miniature world A house in the vines to hide from the squirrels I wanna talk to the miniature girl I swore that I saw her on the window sill I wanna know about the miniature life What clothes do they wear, what food do they like? I wish that I could be miniature like The girl that I saw on the window sill A whole world that I never discovered They won't believe what I've seen A hole in the back of the cupboard Hear whispers at night when I sleep Leave snacks on the top of my dresser Know that you'll find it some day Excited to come back next summer Then maybe you'll show me your face Minivan packed to the brim, already on a row Woke up later, expecting waffles on a go Grab a couple water bottles as we fill up at the station Tell her "drive a little fast, mother, there cookies for us waiting" Patience, occasions like this is hard to calm down Waiting like forever, but it's finally time now
