When You Are Mine - Calvin Johnson

When you are mine

Jesus Christ will walk on water with our blessings

The bells will chime!

Venus de Milo will grow a couple of wings

And pose for photos with an arm around each of us

When you are mine

It will be agreed without saying a thing

That the world can stand in line for the privilege

Of kissing our feet

When you are mine

Time will stand on its head

Will sit on its hands

Original sin will be revised

To include hearts two sizes too large

I made a master leap and caught the arrows

People tried to shoot over our heads

I throw them javelin style back at him

Hit him right between the eyes

And he realized that he should have aimed instead

At our unmade bed

At our unmade bed

When will you be mine?

Let’s set a date

Tell all our friends and relations

That the time for bashful lashes

Is now officially in the past

I signed the cast on your broken heart

And it will mend, speedily fast

When you are mine

When I bow, and your curtsy to me

The world will know the beauty of two hearts

Skipping every other beat

When you are mine (repeated)

When you are mine

I will be yours

We’ll mix up all the drawers, all the dressers confused

And we’ll wear each others' clothes

No one will be sure to know

Which ones were stupid

Or whose grandparents are sexy m.f.-ers in the south of France

When you are mine

When you are

When you are

What are your intentions with this heart two sizes too large?

Are you gonna catapult over the garden wall

And plant the seeds of

Our forever being yours, being mine, being yours
