Take a road trip in my heart my dear, the highways are all marked.
Head down any route you choose, where every onetime romance sparked.
Just in case you won't remember, take a picture of my heart.
Get close - catch all the little cracks from where it broke apart
But I stumbled through the red tape, built the infrastructure new.
Now with tearful eyes and outstretched arms,
I give the key to you.
Ride through my heart with all the lumps in it, they fell down from my throat.
See the well from which I've drawn out every word I ever wrote.
Take a souvenir from my heart, it's something you must do.
It's risky but I have to trust a piece is safe with you.
If you held it close to your heart that would probably be best,
it might be warm and safe there if it's pressed against your chest.
Please leave my heart quite carefully or never leave at all.
If i keep giving pieces out it may end up too small.
