Who Knew...

Don't remind me
That some days I'm a windshield
And other days I'm just a lucky bug
As cold iron rails leave
Old mossy trails through the countryside

The crow and the bean field
Are my best friends but boy, I need a hug
Cause my heart stops without you
There's something about you
That makes me feel alive

(Chorus)
If the green left the grass on the other side
 I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand
Would your eyes get wide?
Who knew the other side could be so green?

Don't remind me
I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
Cause when the stars silhouette me
I'm scared they'll forget me
And flicker out

I taste honey but I haven't seen the hive
Yeah I didn't look, I didn't even try
But still my heart stops without you
Cause there's something about you
That makes me feel alive

(Chorus)

We are honey and the bee

Backyard of butterflies surrounded me
I fell in love with you
Like bees to honey
So let's up and leave the weeping to the willow tree
And pour our tears in the sea

I swear there's a lot of vegetables out there
That crop up for air
Yeah I never thought
We were two peas in a pod
Til you suddenly bloomed, then I knew
That I'd always love you
Oh, I'll always love you too

(Chorus x2)

And if I reached for your hand
For the rest of my life
Who knew the other side could be so green?

Soooo the song you just read? Yeah, this image popped into my head at one point while listening to it and I played it repeatedly while working on this. It was so perfect for what I wanted to convey with this pair. It might come as a surprise to someone or no one, but yeah, I think Penn would actually be a cute match for Dib. And yet, the picture I had in mind was not a straight-up love scene. These guys are KIDS - yes, even Penn (like Zim, she's hundreds of years old but developmentally she's only about 11, a bit younger than Zim), so they don't quite yet get these odd, new emotions. They kinda-sorta like each other at this point, but they're not sure what to make of it. Penn is probably just excited about something, and doesn't notice she's laying the awkward down on Dib.

Penn (c) me!
