lyrics
If I could fix things,
and you were winter
and heat was as easy
as lighting a match,
during any old blizzard
I would crumple our past
and set it on fire
and bring our flame back.
But as we know it just snows and snows
and we can't find the holes
where the wind rips through our souls.
If I could believe in
anything half believable,
I would try to imagine
you and I
with a garden and children
and all of your paintings
and my room would be
just to myself.
But where we stand there are no plans
for any such things,
it's just my imagination trying to fix things again.
Counting up or counting down,
I didn't count on
you and I ending up,
you and I ending,
you and I ending up here.
I believe in nothing,
I just like to fix broken things,
but appliances don't make
such good friends
as you do.
If I could just believe in God,
maybe I could hook up,
with someone who can fix love
the way I can't do.
Oh but I see no heavenly signs,
no instructions divine,
just two tired hearts
with no rest in sight.
and you were winter
and heat was as easy
as lighting a match,
during any old blizzard
I would crumple our past
and set it on fire
and bring our flame back.
But as we know it just snows and snows
and we can't find the holes
where the wind rips through our souls.
If I could believe in
anything half believable,
I would try to imagine
you and I
with a garden and children
and all of your paintings
and my room would be
just to myself.
But where we stand there are no plans
for any such things,
it's just my imagination trying to fix things again.
Counting up or counting down,
I didn't count on
you and I ending up,
you and I ending,
you and I ending up here.
I believe in nothing,
I just like to fix broken things,
but appliances don't make
such good friends
as you do.
If I could just believe in God,
maybe I could hook up,
with someone who can fix love
the way I can't do.
Oh but I see no heavenly signs,
no instructions divine,
just two tired hearts
with no rest in sight.
