lyrics

LOVE ON A WIRE

every time i look at you
i jump
out of my skin
everytime i think about you
i smile
like a question
+ ya keep me honest
+ ya keep me sane
+ ya keep me balanced
on a wire

the homeless boy
on a icy street
his smile frozen down
his hands r cold + his pockets r ripped
+ he's starin' at the ground
does he know my song?
does he have a love like you?
who will catch him when he falls?

love love love love love love love love love love...

i been shopping again
in a hardware store
for a socket that won't give out
a pair of pliers
that'll never let go
+ a light bulb like a bible
+ it smells like sawdust
+ it smells like paint
+ i believe if i believe enough
y'll catch me

C

every time i look at you
i jump
