The girls like berlin like berlin in the snow
The walls come a fallin' just as she knows
To open up wide and show the side she's been meaning to show.

But just like a candle like a candle outside
It goes out sometimes, but still shows the light
The light of a life, the light of a child, it's been meaning to grow

Chorus:
And just as I've known you, you've shown me somehow
Wearing back the braids you were kissed like a child
And just as I've held you, you hold me somehow
The flow is our right, just let it go now
Just as I feel it from deep in this lung, I can breath it all clean
The center of you and the center of me
And the side we don't see

The girls got an arm, she's got an arm like a frame
She'll wrap it around you, and you'll never feel the pain
Lift it up high or scoop it down low, she's got nothing to show, no.
But just like her window like her window outside
The ball hits sometimes and shatters in the night
It shatters the life, oh the life she's been meaning to grow.

Chorus

The girls like berlin like berlin in the snow
The walls come a fallin' just as she knows
To open up wide and show the side she's been meaning to show.

Chorus
