The Cards
I lifted my head
Right against the sun
And the cold air
The spring had just begun
I was losing old love
Right upon the chair
You were sitting on
May I please touch your hair
What a physical feeling
Following the lead of a difficult yearning
To give and then to bleed
(To give, and bleed)
"Watch the heart
Be true to yourself"
Those were the cards
The cards that I was dealt
Look in the mirror
And out of yourself
Those were the cards
The cards that I was dealt
And I don't think I've cried
Not once since I arrived
And I should think I need to
But now I can't decide
Retrace myself
In somebody else
You are you, I am me
We are young and we are partially free
Give bleed and lead
And lead and take me to your home tonight
But "Watch the heart
Be true to yourself"
Those were the cards
The cards that I was dealt
Look in the mirror
And out of yourself
Those were the cards
The cards that I was dealt
Right against the sun
And the cold air
The spring had just begun
I was losing old love
Right upon the chair
You were sitting on
May I please touch your hair
What a physical feeling
Following the lead of a difficult yearning
To give and then to bleed
(To give, and bleed)
"Watch the heart
Be true to yourself"
Those were the cards
The cards that I was dealt
Look in the mirror
And out of yourself
Those were the cards
The cards that I was dealt
And I don't think I've cried
Not once since I arrived
And I should think I need to
But now I can't decide
Retrace myself
In somebody else
You are you, I am me
We are young and we are partially free
Give bleed and lead
And lead and take me to your home tonight
But "Watch the heart
Be true to yourself"
Those were the cards
The cards that I was dealt
Look in the mirror
And out of yourself
Those were the cards
The cards that I was dealt
