it's a heartbreak even situation
|
nothing lost and nothing gained
|
so i'm 10 years old again
|
standing in the backyard waving at a train
|
|
i feel you make love to me slightly
|
every time you let a little laugh slip too soon
|
and the moment passes over us so lightly
|
it feels like sand blowing over a dune
|
|
you try not to let your emotions show
|
but it ain't a balloon you can just let go
|
it's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun
|
sticky hands
|
sticky arms
|
sticky situation
|
|
it's a heartbreak even situation
|
one part powerful elation
|
one part pitiful and frail
|
and i'm trying to feel my way around
|
a book of promises written in braille
|
|
there is pressure from within this
|
and pressure from above
|
there is pressure on our tenuous, strenuous love
|
and there's wet wool blankets one, two, three
|
laid onto my chest
|
'til i just can't breathe
|
|
and i try not to let my emotions show
|
but it ain't a balloon i can just let go
|
it's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun
|
sticky hands
|
sticky arms
|
sticky situation
|
