lyrics

Shyly she enquired, why he never looked her in the eye while talking
“Frankly,” he reported in retort “it’s a precaution of sorts
I get distracted and refracted, when drawn into those gorgeous portals
Lose my train of thought
Alack! These attacks are back-to-back
In fact it’s intractable
We both know I’ll snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, predictably
How I’m standing still’s a mystery
When standing perpetually…doesn’t seem a victory to me
At times we all will wonder, when our hearts are torn asunder
How we’re meant to keep on wandering
When it feels as if your knees could buckle under ya
Lest we say, “Sod ‘em” Gomorrah
open the box from Pandora I brought ya
I left a jam jar on your doorstep
A thousand wasps within so you might feel the bitter sting
That I felt for you, cuz I adore ya
You can’t deny the grumblings of this old pariah’s
Caused a rumbling down inside ya
Like you’re perched upon the tumble dryer smiling
But you’re best to double check that lid’s on tight
All the Hallmarks say “Love is patient, love is kind”
But the truth can differ significantly, or so I find
Love is selfish, love is desperate, love is scared
Love is willing to carve weapons from those truths you dared to bear
Love is spiteful, Love is mean, Love is seldom neat and clean
Love wrings its hands and forces tears, it wants to know where you’ve been
Love is fearful of what you’re thinking in those silences between
At times we’ll all still wonder, when our hearts are torn asunder
How you’re meant to keep on wandering
When you’re reeling from the feeling that your knees could
Buckle out from under ya
And all the martys say, “Sod ‘em” Gomorrah
Open the box from Pandora I brought ya
I left a jam jar on your doorstep
A thousand wasps within so you might feel the bitter sting
That I felt for you, cuz I adore ya
You can’t deny the grumblings of this old pariah’s
Caused a rumbling down inside ya
Like you’re perched upon the tumble dryer smiling
But you’re best to double check that lid’s on tight
Lest we say, “Sod ‘em” Gomorrah, open the box from Pandora I brought ya
I left a jam jar on your doorstep
A thousand wasps within so you might feel the bitter sting
That I felt for you, cuz I adore ya
You can’t deny the grumblings of this old pariah’s caused a rumbling down inside ya
Like you’re perched upon the tumble dryer smiling
But you’re best to double check that lid’s on tight, alright
