Don't Be So Cold

You must be made of straw

The way you bend

You're afraid of windy days or any breeze

At all it never ends

We run too much

And we shake too many hands

Now all our thumbs are broken

And our toes too sore to dance

But when our minds are sharp

And our teeth are clean

We focus on the past

And we don't say what we mean

It's then that we gain perspective

It's then we realize where we went wrong

Oh oh oh oh

Don't be so cold when I kiss you

Oh oh oh oh

Don't be so bold as to miss me

Strange how words

Seemed to only make things worse

So let's speak without our tongues

And we'll sing without a verse

Until your eyes are red

Until my stomach hurts

Until we're bleeding from the silence

And the salt has stained our shirts

Until there's pleasure in our pain and our

Sadness leads to gain, again, again

Oh oh oh oh

Don't be so cold when I kiss you

Oh oh oh oh

Don't be so bold as to miss me

We must be made of glass

The way we break

We crumble into pieces

When we leave too much at stake

But when your mind is closed

And our heads are sore

We've buried all the laughter

And you're walking out the door

Think back to a time when time was a place

Where a thought was a dream

And a dream was a hope for time
