I've made a decision
I'm just going to keep standing here
Until you fall in love with me
That's right
I'm a Zax
Like in Dr. Seuss
I'm just going to stand here
Not facing North
Not facing South
But facing your heart
I figure if I stand here long enough
Through the snow
Through the rain
Through the inevitable cramping
You'll see that I love you
More than anyone else
Possibly could
No matter who you meet
While I'm standing here
You'll think--
"Yeah, but would they stand in one place for me forever like Jack did?"
And I won't sit down
And I won't get a chair
And I won't do squats
And I'll take very limited bathroom breaks
I'm just going to keep standing here
Not eating
Not drinking
Not sleeping
...Okay, well maybe sleep will be out of my control
But I'll give it my best shot
Eventually I'll die
But I'll die in an act of love
And no matter how crazy you think I am
The world will think I'm poetic
And they'll always look at you
And wonder why you couldn't just love me
I'm just going to keep standing here
Because honestly...
I don't know what else to do
