Hands Won't Touch

Well our hands won't touch
And our eyes won't meet
We'll just walk on by
And stare at our feet as we
Try not to think about
The last night we had spent
In each others arms

Cause you found a space in me that needed filling
And I saw a fire in you that I could tend

But that warmth that we shared
Is no longer ours
And those lights in our eyes
Are starting to go dark
And though it hurts to say
"Our love has fallen apart"
Still we must admit
When the engine won't start

So our paths won't cross
And our trails won't meet
We'll just trek on through
Through the city streets as we
Try to go on about
The fragile eggshell lives
That we've built from scratch

Cause you found a space in me that needed filling
And I saw a fire in you that I could tend

But that warmth that we shared
Is no longer ours
And those lights in our eyes
Are starting to go dark
And though it hurts to say
"Our love has fallen apart"
Still we must admit
When the engine won't start

Little cracks that run through
The homes in which we live
Allow in a little light
That shows us who we are
And with every earthquake, every broken plate
A little more gets in
Til the roof is gone and the cleansing sun
Is beating on our skin

When the lines are gone
And the bonds are broke
We can laugh too loud and
Dare to hope that one
Fine day will come along
When we will meet again
And exchange a smile
