Come Back to Me, Squiggly Line

Ahem.
You there. Squiggly line.

You float across my kingdom like you own the place
A royal little wiggle drifting past my face
I turn to have a proper look, you curtsy and you flee
How dare you run away, my dear, when you belong to me

When I stare, you disappear
When I don't, you're right back here

Oh, come back, come back to me, my squiggly line
Da da da, da-da-da, da da da, da-da
Whenever I look, you're gone, but darling, you're mine
Da da da, da-da-da, da da da, da-da
Are you a circle? A dot? A cloud? A thread?
Who gave you permission to swim around my head?
I'll pretend not to notice, and then you'll be fine
Oh, come back, come back to me, my squiggly line

Some days you bring a little flash, a spark of royal light
Some days you're nowhere to be found, you vanish out of sight
I've summoned all my wisest men, they shrug and say, "Who knows?"
A mystery in my empire... and that is how it goes

When I stare, you disappear
When I don't, you're right back here

Oh, come back, come back to me, my squiggly line
Da da da, da-da-da, da da da, da-da
Whenever I look, you're gone, but darling, you're mine
Da da da, da-da-da, da da da, da-da
Are you a circle? A dot? A cloud? A thread?
Who gave you permission to swim around my head?
I'll pretend not to notice, and then you'll be fine
Oh, come back, come back to me, my squiggly line

What are you? What do you mean?
Are you a message from the great unseen?
Why do you come? And why do you go?
Why, my squiggle, do you vex me so?
...Fine. I shan't look.
(I'm looking.)

Oh, come back, come back to me, my squiggly line
Da da da, da-da-da, da da da, da-da
You run when I chase you, but darling, you're mine
Da da da, da-da-da, da da da, da-da
I forgive you, my squiggle, you're totally fine
Long live the king... and his squiggly line

There you are.
I knew it.
