The Jane Austen Argument - Made Your Mark lyrics

I tried to write you a tango But all we could do was stumble And I wanted to whisper in your ear But all that came out was a jumble of mumbles I don't know you wanted to hear And I don't know if this is a love song But you have made your mark You have made your mark We met each other's matches Then we set the house on fire And our faces glowed in the flame light So hold out, hold out, hold out your palm And offer it to me, offer it to me And give me, give me, give me something real So real that I can hardly breathe The Green Woman, she said "You know this can't last, So stick your tongue out at life And just get what you can, what you can. While you can. And you can." We sharpened our claws on each other Didn't leave a scratch No we didn't leave a scratch. But you tap, tap, tapped my body's hollows To the count of three (one, two) To the count of three (One, two, three) And the Oak Men said to me "Look inside yourself And you'll find what you need. What you need." (While you need) And I need... And I'm not sure if this is a love song But you have made your mark You have made your mark We met each other's matches The we set the house on fire And our faces glowed, our faces glowed And I can't if this is a love song But you have made your mark You have made your mark We met each other's matches Then we set the house on fire How our faces glowed in the flame light
