"Water In a Teapot" by Mia and Jonah

Lyrics:
Listen and read.

Water in a Teapot - Mia and Jonah
(A song that fits perfectly. I had to try and figure these out myself because I can't find them anywhere on the internet. I think I got it mostly right. I would be very interested in seeing how close I was to the actual lyrics. Let me know if you can find them.)

It's summer time and colder
and there's only room enough for shoulders (?)
and they smile like they're together (?)
And this weary winter weather,
Is wearing thinner then the promise
of tomorrow as a beacon
and hope it rains hard on the bed.
and the cause is just by speakin.
cause you could be the pathway
where the holes all go underneath it.
And if I fall and find fear one more time,
I might decide to keep it.
So I am trying to tread lightly,
but happy just happens to mean (?)
I AM not afraid to bite mean,
but you can slay with me your beauty
(CHORUS)
Cause time is water in a teapot,
and you swear you hear it whistling.
Is it calling you away from me,
can I persuade you not to listen?
and I will fill your ears with music,
to distract you from the sound.
and if you've got to go, then go,
BUT know, I hope you stick around!

(End Chorus)

And the Cherry blossom trees
are blowing naked in them meadows
and I think I am like the branches,
and you are the pink peddles.
I am rooted to the soil
The wind calls and I stay grounded,
but one more word and you're off like a bird,
and I'm stranded here confounded.
And I have read you're constitution,
your honesty is commendable,
but your eyes don't seem so resolute,
baby maybe your truth is bendable,
I will not strip away your boundries,
just let me stretch them like a moon beam,
I'm not asking for forever,
just to keep to a room in your dream (?)

(CHORUS repeats)

Well now I'm getting in my sail boat,
and I'm armed for (?) (?) (?)
maybe I will just round the distance
you've seen me way around the bey, baby
forget those words I told you,
(It was late and we were drinking)
It just felt so good to hold you,
that I started in all the thinking.

Cause time is water in a teapot,
and I swear I hear it whistling.
Oh I drink it while the water's hot,
it's the only kind of livin'.
So I've untied my sailboat from the shore
from your familiar sands(sounds)
Baby you're not bound to me,
but I sure hope you stick around.

I hope you stick around.
