Question Mark

If I told you a secret
Would you promise to keep it
If I hold you so tight you couldn't get away
Even if you wanted to
If I give away my heart
Would it mean anything to you

If I smother you and mother you
And always hover over you
If I set you free and you came back
Would it really mean it's meant to be
If I talk too much
Just silence me with a kiss

You're a question mark, a question mark
You leave me in the dark
A question mark, a question mark
I can't define that spark

If I sold my watch, would you cut off all your hair
To buy me a pocket chain
If I buy the ring, would you drop it down
the kitchen sink drain
If I ask real nice
Would you get the hell out of my brain

And in my mind there's a place somewhere
Where everything makes sense
And if I squint I can see a tree there
But the forest is so dense
