You must be made of straw, the way you bend You're afraid of windy days or any breeze at all it never ends
We run too much and we shake too many hands Now all are thumbs are broken and our toes too sore to dance But when our minds are sharp and our teeth are clean We focus on the past, and we don't say what we mean Its then we gain perspective, its then we realize where we went wrong
Oh oh oh oh. Don't be so cold when I kiss you Oh oh oh oh. Don't be so bold as to miss me
Strange how words Seemed to only make things worse So let's speak without our tongues, and we'll sing without a verse Until your eyes are red. Until my stomach hurts Until we're bleeding from the silence, and the salt has stained our shirts Until there's pleasure in our pain and our sadness leads to gain, again, again
Oh oh oh oh. Don't be so cold when I kiss you Oh oh oh oh. Don't be so bold as to miss me
We must be made of glass the way we break We crumble into bits when we leave too much at stake But when your mind is closed, and our heads are sore, We've buried all the laughter and you're walking out the door Think back to a time when time was a place where a thought was a dream And a drean ws a hope for time
Oh oh oh oh. Don't be so cold when I kiss you Oh oh oh oh. Don't be so bold as to miss me
