I don't want to hide from the thought of you
do what it is that you need to
cause it hurts when we clutch
let's try something else
a far kinder touch
My fear and my pride
a powerful brew
like hooks in our hide
they bind me to you
and we're sick of being stuck
let's try something else
a far kinder touch
Then we find that we never told the truth
and it's not that we are liars
we never even knew
to fall between the wires
of the fence around the pews
to celebrate desire
all of the love none of the rules
Hot flush runs
through my face
am I ok?
well I think I'm ok
then it starts to dawn
this is where i had it wrong all along
and now it's clear
The way that it's been
these ownership blues
this dated dowry we need not choose
and the way that it seems
well it seems like abuse
our love in a cage
strung up by a noose
And it hurts when we clutch
let's try something else
a far kinder touch
