Measureless

Glancing over at his feet keeping the time
Looking out the window home alone at half past nine
A scooter broken on the tar taking shape in my mind

Oh, quiescent unrest
My skin is smooth but something's pressing underneath
My love is measureless
And it's tearing at the seams

Easter break, bicycle rides, ice-cream and silences
Lunch with grandparents, "Murder, She Wrote" guesses
"I think two salad leaves aren't enough for a grown up"

Oh, quiescent unrest
My skin is smooth but something's pressing underneath
My love is measureless
And it's tearing at the seams
Tearing at the seams
Tearing at the seams
Tearing at the seams
Tearing at the seams

I'm fourteen now, I'm growing
Making new friends at school
Evening, their parents
Come to carry them home
He says he's changed his mind
Too tired to leave the house
Too cold to love a child
Too bad she's crying now

Oh, quiescent unrest
My skin was smooth but something's poked from underneath
My love is measureless
And it's tearing at the seams
Tearing at the seams
Tearing at the seams
Tearing at the seams
Tearing at the seams
