We plug up our ears
feeding music to our brain
so that the busy streets around
produce a dream-like state.

Poppy red and tangerine,
the brightest yellow and calming green.
Sapphire jewels and amethyst stones,
this is how beautiful our love grows.

All things buckle when given into fear.
Be who you are.
Be who you are.
Be who you are.

because my heart is strong
but my head is loose.

there's no other toxic love
than the wind and rain,
except you and I,
we are the same.

Lip liner across our lips,
connect the dots between our hips.
Dotted lines divide the road,
sign the line where debts are owed.
Signed letters, cursive cards,
smoke lingers from stiff cigars.
Smoked out lines above our eyes,
count the trails of tears we've cried.

And now I am drawing the line with you,
erasing the previous lines we drew.

Give your time to a lady,
give your time to a gent.
The greatest gift you can give
is where your time is spent.
