You carry your love around in a wagon

It’s covered in bells and ribbons and bows

And nobody knows

You lie all alone in your room at eleven

Choosing your childrens names and all of their clothes

It’s hard to believe when you say

That your heart’s in the way

But it’s open wide

Hard to admit when you see

That life’s candy and carousels

Kittens and creme brule

And color me in light from the day

And I’ll be in armor shining brightly

April rain or sunshine in May

And I’ll be your picture perfect ending

Color me with soil and clover

Color me in love

You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders

You carry your heart around on your sleeve

And aren’t you relieved

You have all you need on the shelf in the corner

Written on dated pages in neat cursive rows

It’s hard to believe when you say

That your heart’s in the way

But it’s open wide

Hard to admit when you say

That it’s over, not over

Hard to believe when you see

Your love’s on it’s way

But it’s no surprise

Hard to admit when you see

That life’s candy and carousels

Kittens and creme brule

And color me in light from the day

And I’ll be in armor shining brightly

April rain or sunshine in May

And I’ll be your picture perfect ending

Color me with soil and clover

Color me in love

You carry on conversations so sweetly

Your carry on bags always packed to depart

I think we should start to speed

As you’re poised to leave

Cause I want and need you

Lock and keyed you

Guaranteed you’ll see

That life’s candy

And creme brule

Color me in light from the day

I’ll be in armor shining brightly

April rain or sunshine in May

I’ll be your picture perfect ending

Color me with soil and clover

Color me in

The redwood forest is actually green when seen from above

And tragic fires are actually clean and burn all the shrubs

So the redwoods can thrive – they're 200 feet high

Your cargo fills you up with doubt

You're better off when you're without it

When I first met you, you were smiling.

Your cargo fills you up with doubt

You're better off when you're without it

If you seemed happy you were lying

In Alexandria they saved all their books until they were ash

And our books someday will all fade away and so will our cash

But this love can survive – we're 200 feet high

Your cargo fills you up with doubt

You're better off when you're without it

When I first met you, you had that funny smile on your face

Your cargo fills you up with doubt

You're better off when you're without it

When I first met you nothing seemed so out of place

We set our alarm clock to wake with the sunrise but we fell back asleep

And where the ocean meets the land, that's where you met me

We set our alarm clock to wake for the sunrise but you fell back asleep

And it came up, it came up anyway

Your cargo fills you up with doubt

You're better off when you're without it

When I first met you, you had that funny smile on

Your cargo fills you up with doubt

You're better off when you're without it

When I first met you, nothing seemed wrong

The redwood forest is actually green when seen from above

And I felt fine on your trampoline when we were in love

But we fell from the sky – we were 200 feet high

Your skin was white as phosphorus

There wasn’t enough room for us

In this cocoon you’d created

Your eyes were gray just like a stone

You wanted him and him alone

He thought you were over-rated

I was delirious and wrong

I found your weakness was a song

You said the tune of it floored you

I played my card just like a spy

But I was just another guy

Admitting that I adored you

And you said, I’m problematic but sweet

Let’s talk about it next week

And we’ll avoid a disaster

I said, I told you everything I know

You said, in time your love could grow

But I was loving you faster

The wine had gone straight to your head

I was drunk on every word you said

You made me carry you up three flights of stairs

I fell with you into the bed

You said you should have walked instead

I would have carried you anywhere

And I said, why don’t we listen to that song

It seems to help us get along

You said it made you feel graceful

I said, I’ve told you everything I’ve known

You said you hate to be alone

And that night I fell asleep by your side and

I’m problematic but sweet

Let’s talk about it next week

And we’ll avoid a disaster –

Disaster and I told you everything I know

You said, in time your love could grow

But I was loving you faster

Tonight I’ve got you right where I wanted you

Sewn into your disguise

I saw the truth in your eyes

Alright you’ve got me right where you wanted

The sting in my mouth is the taste of

Your skin was white just like a ghost

You took off both your shoes the most

Your hair was like a volcano

You said the song was really true

That people are just people too

I said it’s just a piano, and I know

I’m problematic but sweet

Let’s talk about it next week

And we’ll avoid a disaster –

Disaster and I told you everything I know

You said, in time your love could grow

But I was loving you faster
