Darling
You deserve everything
One day you’ll realize
Your heart
Wraps around everything
In sight
Though these times are ripe with strife
So much love
Ain't that hard to find
And though this does confuse the mind
So much love
Is always in your life
When you’re cold I'll be your cocoon
Darling, you’ll feel better soon
Honey
You deserve
To be surprised
Just take it
Slowly
One day at a time
Though these times are ripe with strife
So much love
Ain't that hard to find
And though this does confuse the mind
So much love
Is always in your life
Your life
When you’re cold I'll be your cocoon
Darling, you’ll feel better soon
You are truly one of a kind
Let your kindness be eulogized
Lift your spirit into the sky
I will be there right by your side
You are truly one of a kind
Let your kindness be eulogized
Lift your spirit into the sky
I will be there right by your side
If you’re cold I'll be your cocoon
I promise you’ll start to feel better soon
Darling
You deserve everything
One day you’ll realize

They've been circling
They've been circling
Since the day they were born
It's disturbing
How they're circling
Fifty feet from the pond
Pretty often
Pretty often
I don't want to be told
It's a problem
It's a problem
It's a problem I know
And I won't keep what I can't catch in my bare hands without a net
It's hard enough to walk on grass so conscious of the consequences
They've been jerking
They've been jerking
In a pail by the dock
I know that oxygen might
Make them blossom and die
But I'm not going to talk
Feed them details
Feed them emails
They'll eventually grow
It's not working
It's not working
Not as far as I know
And killing things is not so hard it's hurting that's the hardest part
And when the wizard gets to me I'm asking for a smaller heart
And I've got you
And I got you
Now I'll ruin it all
Feeling helpless
Acting selfish
Being human and all
And they're jumping
And they're jumping
But they'll never get out
Just keep touring
Keep ignoring
Be a good little trout
And the butcher stops and winds his watch and lays their lives down on the block
He raises up his hatchet and the big hand strikes a compromise
Wait, we'll trade you
Wait
Please just one more day
And then we'll go with no complaining
No complaining
No complaining
No complaining
Stop complaining
And they're killing
And they're cutting
And I think that I know
And they're gutting
And they're gutting
And I think that I know
And it's beating
it's still beating
And I think that I know
And it's beating
Look, it's still beating
God, I don't want to know
And killing things is not so hard
It's hurting that's the hardest part
And when the wizard gets to me
I'm asking for a smaller heart
And if he tells me "no"
I'll hold my breath until I hit the floor
Eventually I'm know I'm doomed
To get what I am asking for
Now my heart is exactly the size
Of a six-sided die cut in half
Made of ruby red stained glass
Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise
I'll love you and I'll make you laugh?
And my heart is exactly the size
Of a six-sided die cut in half
Made of ruby red stained glass
Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise
I'll love you and I'll make you laugh?
Said I'll love you and I'll make you laugh.
I'll love you and I'll make you laugh...

Pour Your Heart Out

We conversed through the night about the new selves that we discovered
But there is a pit feeling inside that I’m losing you like all the others
Picture me unchanged and I would’ve jumped that bridge in a heartbeat-eat-eat-eat
I know you care but you’re so far away
You are so far away
You are so far away
And this hurts more than ever
The words you have strung together
Have made my 12 ounce heart even heavier heavier heavier heavier heavier
Pour your heart out
We’ll get lost
There is a cure that way
When you go
I could find you
And you’ll know
You will know
That I love you
I love you too
I said I’d be there sooner than you know
But I didn’t take into account that I’d be so poor
Now I’ve got no way to go
Now I’ve got no way to go
No way to go
And this hurts more than ever
The distance between one another
Has made my 12 ounce heart even heavier heavier heavier heavier heavier
Pour your heart out
We’ll get lost
There is a cure that way
When you go
I could find you
And you’ll know
You will know
That I love you
I love you too
Pour your heart out
We’ll get lost
There is a cure that way
When you go
I could find you
And you’ll know
You will know
That I love you
I love you too
Pour your heart out
We’ll get lost
There is a cure that way
When you go
I could find you
And you’ll know
You will know
That I love you
I love you too
Come on, Come on
Closer, Closer
Come on, Come on
Closer, Closer
Come on, Come on
Closer, Closer
Come on, Come on
Closer, Closer
Come on, Come on
Closer, Closer
Come on, Come on
Closer, Closer
Come on, Come on
Closer, Closer
Come on, Come on
Closer, Closer
Come on, Come on
Closer, Closer
