(What is the opposite of spare) change.

you could count in change what she has done.
you grin and bear your clothes that don't fit.
she doesn't want the better you have to make
it feels unreal.

what is real is separation and what is true is naïvety.
the adhesive is real. it's effectively true,
but one day, if neglected, the glue will dry out.
it will be all too blunt.

and in the coins that count her worth
she will protect you as best as she can
Chris and Michael can do only so much
and she has coins for only a little.

so maybe it will count for every cent that she spends trying.
she will be well spent, you are in good hands.
you just don't want to reach out.

so for each passing moment, she works that much harder.
every second expired, she earns a bit more.
so that each passing moment you spend in the ball pit,
you're watched over and kept safe from harm.

if finally, you see it fit to step out,
and change into something that breathes,
the right outfit is waiting, complete and divine.
ready to pay off.

her beauty is not the kind that's skin deep.
fringe benefits aside, she wouldn't be half so sweet or caring
unless somebody pushed her outside.

you must find your own way out, she will help you reach your goal
but the paths are yours to pick and choose.
