Not so long ago
We both felt love became a word
No more than that

With sex that felt like wings without a bird

The only thing that we both love
Is in the cradle that we rock
Six hands, six feet, but just one beat
The ticking of the clock

I always heard I could get hurt
(I knew that from the start)
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck
But please don't break my heart
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck
But please don't break my heart

Solid wood will rot if you don't keep it from the rain
We were surprised when we found out
That love feels just like pain
