- Valentine Lyrics / with translationsYou didn't see my valentine
I sent it via pantomime
While you were watchin someone else
I stared at you and cut myself
It's all I'll do cuz I'm not free
A fugitive too dull too flee
I'm amorous but out of reach
A still life drawing of a peach
I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I've made my peace I'm dead I'm done
I watched you live to have my fun
I root for you, I love you [x2]
I made it to a dinner date
My teardrops seasoned every plate
I tried to dance but lost my nerve
I cramped up in the learning curve
I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I'm resigned to sail on through
In the wake of tales of you
I root for you, I love you [x4]
I sent it via pantomime
While you were watchin someone else
I stared at you and cut myself
It's all I'll do cuz I'm not free
A fugitive too dull too flee
I'm amorous but out of reach
A still life drawing of a peach
I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I've made my peace I'm dead I'm done
I watched you live to have my fun
I made it to a dinner date
My teardrops seasoned every plate
I tried to dance but lost my nerve
I cramped up in the learning curve
I'm a tulip in a cup
I stand no chance of growing up
I'm resigned to sail on through
In the wake of tales of you
I root for you, I love you [x4]

Fiona Apple
She stunted in her ability to express her feelings of attraction in a forward way. She's stuck in a rut. She dreams of her crush but is unable to make a reality of her fantasy.
