lyrics

I'll be your puddle for you to stomp around in
You can splash my watery guts around, but at least you're having fun
All that I ask you is please don't wear your rainboots
I want to soak right through your shoes, through your socks to your skin

Because the closer I am to any part of you that's warm
The more I can forget the ice in your heart
And the more I can forget your frozen pit of a heart
The more I can pretend that I'm not just your puddle for you to stomp around in
You can splash my watery guts around, but at least you're having fun
All that I ask you is please don't wear your rainboots
I want to soak right through your shoes, through your socks to your skin

And when your shoes and socks are wet you'll take them off to dry them
You'll set them by a fire and think you've gotten rid of me
But I'll still be with you, I'll still be on your feet
Because now I am a fungus, and I'm more than just your puddle for you to stomp around in
You can splash my watery guts around but at least you're having fun
All that I ask you is please don't wear your rainboots
I want to soak right through your shoes, through your socks to your skin

Today's the day you take out your trash
I expect that some hobo will find me in a can somewhere
I've seen it coming from miles away
I hope when you leave me you find another man someday
And then I won't be your puddle for you to stomp around in

You won't splash my watery guts around anymore
I hope that the next guy will let you wear your rainboots
So your feet stay warm and dry, just as long as I'm not your puddle
