There's so many of you
there's so many of you
all in one world
standing apart
none of them are true
none of them are truly
truly in love
sing your name on paper but
it's just ephemera
there's so many of you
trying to break my heart
can you do it?
can you make it?
baby can you come?
don't leave me alone here
let your body come undone
every poor fool deserves
a moment in the sun
So I'll leave it up to you
living through the ages
powerless embraces
you say nothing ever change
but nothing stays the same as
when we were all children
climbing in the playground
falling breaking bones
you must have been delightful
stubborn little princess
pouting through the tears that
you know you didn't earn
how I'd love to bend down
kiss you on the forehead
but we were never children
and love is an infection
yes love is an infection
(love is an infection)
a parasite that kills it's host
