Your tear walked down from my fingertip

Like a ladybug sidetracked from it's fated trip

We never got to the touching & feeling

'cause the skin's too sensitive when the wounds are healing

like ice cream too close to the playground

I'm no good for you but you still want me around

If you pick the moments when the cheeks were glowing

Well & I hope they're enough to keep you going

& we'll talk & we'll talk & we'll talk 'til we understand enough

& we'll talk & we'll talk & we'll talk 'til every word's used up

& we'll talk & we'll talk & we'll talk like this was the toughest love

& then we'll fall asleep

your pain begins at the point of trust

like life begins at the very flastpoint of lust

there's sun and moon in every movement

you can live with it or expect improvement

& we'll talk & we'll talk & we'll talk 'til we understand enough

& we'll talk & we'll talk & we'll talk 'til every word's used up

& we'll talk & we'll talk & we'll talk like this was the toughest love

& then we'll fall asleep

& into our dreams

where we won't have to figure out

what anything means

& in there I can do whatever I choose

but I'm faithful when there's no way I can lose

& we'll talk & we'll talk & we'll talk 'til we understand enough

& we'll talk & we'll talk & we'll talk 'til every word's used up

& we'll talk & we'll talk & we'll talk like this was the toughest love

& then we'll fall asleep
