Love is a tough safe to crack, But if you come prepared, with your instructions packed, Brought the right equipment and your mind is intact, You can open it with ease, And receive the treasure that’s trapped. Still there are people, too eager for waiting, Anxiously cracking the safe With the hammer of impatience. But what you’ll end up breaking Is not only the safe Destroying all the treasures enclosed, But also your back, From swinging the hammer too far back. Now in the back of your mind, You’re ****** because you shattered your spine. You can only sit, thinking of the bliss You could have had if you just took your time. Paralyzed from the neck down, and you can believe it, Jeopardized your love life just from swinging That **** hammer of impatience Which made you Love’s paraplegic.

Love’s Paraplegic
Love is a tough safe to crack, But if you come prepared, with your instructions packed, Brought the right equipment and your mind is intact, You can open it with ease, And receive the treasure that’s trapped. Still there are people, too eager for waiting, Anxiously cracking the safe With the hammer of impatience. But what you’ll end up breaking Is not only the safe Destroying all the treasures enclosed, But also your back, From swinging the hammer too far back. Now in the back of your mind, You’re ****** because you shattered your spine. You can only sit, thinking of the bliss You could have had if you just took your time. Paralyzed from the neck down, and you can believe it, Jeopardized your love life just from swinging That **** hammer of impatience Which made you Love’s paraplegic.
