Termites

I’ll become a big oak tree and
Let the beetles eat their way through me and
When they’re done you’ll carve your name
'Cause nothing can be like it was
Before I met you and I felt your touch
You laid your eggs in my stomach
You are just a small termite
Who keeps me up, who eats me up
At night, and the light scares you away
I am brave and I am wise
But you see right through my red apple eyes
You make me want to go and hide
But I will stand here in the sun
And make sure you’re okay until you’re done
'Cause I’m in love and I’m so dumb
