Right at the start

You put this into words

How you think we should proceed, yeah

You wanted me alone

With the pictures that you've seen

Of where you haven't been

But where you want to go



Ask the leaf and ask the bird

Not to sing or speak a word

We are not fictitious characters

But we don't belong to this world



The book, the book of your heart

One tiny mark, an entry

In the book of your heart

It's written on skin

To even be in

The book of your heart



You can change your name, or even who you are

That's the beauty of the scar

That is the contract of the heart



This is our wedding day

This is the promise that we'll stay

Through the long descriptive passages

Where we don't know what to say



The book, the book of your heart

One tiny mark, an entry

In the book of your heart

It's written on skin

To even be in

The book of your heart



Babe I only love to you

Love is what we choose to do

Babe you don't belong to me

It's not there either
