Lyrics: Rylan
Music: Rylan
You sit upon my pillow, button eyes half-closed
I’ve kept you since the rain, when I was seven years old
Your fur is worn and thinning, but you’re still my home
Cause every secret I confess, I’m never on my own
No heartbeat, no voice, but you feel so real
Every time I close my eyes, you’re the one I feel
You’re like the warmest blanket on a winter night
But you never argue, never leave – just hold me tight
Like a faded ribbon hidden in a drawer
You’re my brown teddy bear, the boy I’m waiting for
Last week I saw a boy with hair like autumn leaves
He smiled at me and suddenly I couldn’t breathe
That night I held you closer, whispered in your ear
“He looks like you, my teddy bear – is that strange, my dear?”
No heartbeat, no voice, but you feel so real
Every time I close my eyes, you’re the one I feel
You’re like the warmest blanket on a winter night
But you never argue, never leave – just hold me tight
Like a faded ribbon hidden in a drawer
You’re my brown teddy bear, the boy I’m waiting for – waiting for
People say I’ll grow up, put you on the shelf
But I don’t want another – I want you myself
You’ve heard my secret wishes, my tears when I was small
You’re not just cotton filling – you’re my all in all
You’re like the warmest blanket on a winter night
But you never argue, never leave – just hold me tight
Like a faded ribbon hidden in a drawer
You’re my brown teddy bear, the boy I’m waiting for
Brown teddy bear…
My brown teddy bear…
I’ll keep you here…
