I like frogs

I am a lone soul, drifting from today to tomorrow over and over again.
My heart lost it's anchor and has no contentedness left to keep it steady.
What I want is my tired mind to rest again, to have a place to go
When things aren't as easy as they used to be.

I'm a loving man, my biggest wish is to have and hold someone forever
Everything I do and everything I dream is love for my person one day
They'll have the most unconditional and limitless love imaginable
Because they chose to spend their life with me

My heart has a harder time than most, finding people to fall with
My scope and my visions are limited to people already close to me
On top of them having to like the things I do and be kind to me
And god forbid, they have to like me back

I've found someone again this time, who flutters in my heart of hearts
But something tells me if I told you who it was, you wouldn't be so happy to hear
I'll give you a hint, my love goes out to frogs, and always frogs
No matter how happy or sad the frog might be

This frog listens to my stories patiently and doesn't seem to mind
He looks at me with caring eyes, and lets me know he's present
Something about him makes me feel safe, even though he's just a frog
And frogs are small and can't protect me

Frogs are always so pretty and grandiose, don't you think so too?
Frogs don't ask questions or tell you things you don't want to hear
They croak and hop along and they do their own things separately
But watching them jump makes me feel less lonely

He likes the things I like, and I love everything he does too
He knows how to make me smile and laugh, and I love when he does too
He's so smart and sweet and funny and I want to be like that too
You think this is stupid- a bad idea. I think so too.

The thing about frogs is they jump less after you catch them
Once they're in jars, they loose their froggy charm and they get even sadder
I want this frog to be happy some day, and I don't think my jar could help
So from a distance, I'll watch my froggy friend

Maybe one day we can ribbit the same tune
For now I'll listen to your chirps alone
Your froggy song makes me happy, sir
I hope my love does the same for you
