A Girl to Watch Cartoons With - TJ Carter

An original song written and recorded by me, TJ Carter, recorded 10-21-11.

Lyrics:
I want a girl to watch cartoons with
Cause I'm not that mature yet
In fact sometimes I feel just like a kid
When its late at night and I'm sitting on my bed

Thinking if I was wizard or a warrior
With some sort of special powers
In a world so near yet so far away
Where me and my friends just hang out all day

I want a girl to watch cartoons with
Cause I'm not ready to get serious
In fact the idea of marriage
Seems so far away I couldn't even pretend to be

An ancient sea farer living out my odyssey
Or some guy out there trying to avenge his family
Or just a rockstar who writes really great songs
That make everyone want to sing along

I want a girl to watch cartoons with
Some crazy anime steampunk shit
crazy anime steampunk shit
yea steampunk is where its at

And maybe she knows how to play the bass
And sings harmony like Neko Case
I'll be the man with the shaky voice
Who sings songs about small towns and indecision

Oh yea, oh yea
Oh yea, oh yea
Oh yea, oh yea
Oh yea, oh yea

And in the end that's how its meant to be
A guy and a girl just watching tv
Laughing at things that don't make any sense
Laughing for every last shred of innocence

I want a girl to watch cartoons with
And we'll eat cereal for breakfast
We won't think about the future
Unless its time travel cause time travel's totally cool

Oh yea, Oh yea
Oh yea, oh yea
Oh yea, oh yea
Oh yea, oh yea
