we walk together dear
though sometimes out of sync but doesn't it always get better dear we're stronger than we think we hold our breath cross our fingers and our toes wasting the daylight left hoping darkness won't approach so let's dance on a landmine and juggle with grenades cause we don't when the pin will pull again so darling let's make lemonade every second with you is love so pure every crack of the bat is worth so much more than any swing and a miss i'm telling you this i'll love you til the end so let's dance on a landmine til then we dance together babe on steps one, two, three and four but when we waltz in three four time we stumble to the floor so we get the rabbit's foot a heads up penny too throwing a dash of salt behind our backs it's all that we can do

i keep pressing the button that takes me down to level c
and i laugh out loud because level’s a word that is used ironically cause it may as well be a bucking bull or a ship in the see with a hole in its hull i keep hanging on and pray for the day you can be level with me pray that you’re level with me, it’s just a matter of time before the revelry arrives, with your peace of mind you can find me here, i’ll just be walking the line until the day you are free and level with me my eyes they are tired, and my heart is lonely and my clothes smell like hospital my collection is growing of those visitor stickers peel them off and stick ‘em on the wall but i wait every day and i walk to a well full of love that we made and i fill up my pail i just hang on and pray for the day you can be level with me you were a red light that stopped me right in my tracks
when i was flying through the crossroads no yellow in between, quick change from red to green you made me move, you made me go you taught me to switch gears and now the road is clear, we let go of the brakes i'll drive with you my dear, and we'll collect souvenirs love is all it takes i picture you and me, two little girls at sea digging our heels in shifting sands baby don't cry those tears, there's enough salt out here we hold our breath, we're holding hands i'm learning how to tell when the next wave will swell anticipate the breaks i'm willing to dive through, long as i can pop up with you love is all it takes i ain't going anywhere, you can quote me girl, i said it if something tries to break us, just trust that i won't let it i don't need a judge to tell me that i'm wedded to you you never have to worry, you never gotta sweat it i told if you picked me you never would regret it i loved you when i met you, i'll love you til the credits roll through love, love, love is all it takes both of us had loads and loads of luggage we let of a lot to lighten up we rummaged through a wilderness of wreckage found a bond so strong, it bandaged us back up we used to walk against wild wind struggled swimming sideways up the river managed the mileage made it up around the bend the current calmed, and love was delivered both of us had bags and baggage we emptied every heavy heart we held at first there was a shortage making space for more love storage but soon there was room for both of us to dwell *co-written with Veronica May you took the pain, added a t painted right over the hurt inside me believe what i say, when i say it's true filled a big gaping hole with a big w o, g, i, c something in u u and i r right on q nobody ever writes love letters these days they spend all their time driving on online freeways there's gotta be somebody somewhere that you know who could use a few handwritten x's and o's you took the hate, switched out the h with an f and I guess it turned into fate you wanted her badly, you set out to get her took away the space so we'd be together |
