Watch the heartbreak melt away Like an orange dreamsicle on hot sidewalks in front of your garage Where bikes hang from ceilings, and cars stay clung to the earth The smell of gasoline so faded by the warm rush of summer air Parsley and tomatoes growing fruitfully from moist mulch Watch the heartbreak melt away Like the happiness leaving a familiar face "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings" Those words running over and over and over in your head like a treadmill I never used. Hands leaving space and entering shyly into fleece pockets Watch the heartbreak melt away Watch the heartbreak Away

Watch the heartbreak melt away
Watch the heartbreak melt away Like an orange dreamsicle on hot sidewalks in front of your garage Where bikes hang from ceilings, and cars stay clung to the earth The smell of gasoline so faded by the warm rush of summer air Parsley and tomatoes growing fruitfully from moist mulch Watch the heartbreak melt away Like the happiness leaving a familiar face "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings" Those words running over and over and over in your head like a treadmill I never used. Hands leaving space and entering shyly into fleece pockets Watch the heartbreak melt away Watch the heartbreak Away
