Two beings reaching for each other under cover of the night
Two secrets speaking silence ever undiscovered by the light
The hands that only meant to reach for an embrace
Touch the tender place
And pressing in the ever present thorn
A flood of love unuttered gathering inside
Spilling from their eyes
And Falling down, the salt into the sore
It stings but they keep coming back for more
Two beings seeking shelter shield each other from the bitter wind
To hearts disguise the hurt behind a mask, a plastic half-assed grin
A mind that only winds up managing to clutch
To love just like a crutch
To keep the daisies propped up on the porch
Just a stepping stone upon their weary way
A game we like to play
A drug to blunt the double edged sword
It kills but we keep coming back for
More love, more time
One more chance, one more try
To pick the broken pieces from the floor
The spell out, hey now, who could ask for more
Two beings long for freedom from the grip of conscience grumbling
Two dreams bent down like knees all bloodied from their constant stumbling
The hands that only meant to reach for an embrace
Touch the tender place
And pressing in the ever present thorn
A flood of love unuttered gathering inside
Spilling from their eyes
And Falling down, the salt into the sore
It stings but they keep coming back for more
Oh and all the broken pieces on the floor
They spell out, hey now, who could ask for more
