they cut you open to get at your heart
sounds like a metaphor for something but itâs not
like a bad memory lodged in your mind
with your eyes taped shut, a metaphor for blind
when you were coming out roads were closing up
fugitive kindness and love like raindrops
it was so much more than the physical
na na na na na na na na na na na
donât break down âtil you get to the parking lot
keep it together until youâre in your car
betrayed by the promise of a child
that took away half your smile
this is not where you thought youâd ever be
when you finally made the move to leave
so many questions still remain
so many metaphors for pain
they cut you open to get at your heart
sounds like a metaphor for something but itâs not
like a bad memory lodged in your mind
with your eyes taped shut a metaphor for blind
when you were coming out roads were closing up
figitive kindness and love just like raindrops
it was so much more than the physical
na na na na na na na na na na na na
donât break down âtil you get to the parking lot
keep it together âtil youâre safe in your car
betrayed by the promise of a child
that took away half your smile
this is not where you thought youâd ever be
when you finally made the move to leave
so many questions still remain
so many metaphors for pain
i canât cry
when iâm singing
open my eyes
made something blah blah
petrified
of the touch you want so much
do you believe in destiny
honey i know iâm not easy to please
can you explain this urge to run
honey i know iâm not easy to love
oh i gotta reach just a little bit higher
or maybe somebody can set me on fire
with paper and branches and fuel and matches or a lighter
do you believe in destiny
honey i know iâm not easy to please
can you explain my urge to run
honey i know iâm not easy to love
