People are different now

Said my boy coated in sugar rain

As careful as a shooting star

He bore his world and went to far inside of me

And I just wanted to touch his shine



Take a sip of these tears

They are sweet with my ignorance saved through the years

And I've been avoiding you for hours

Just to see if you won't fall from what you're meant to be

And I'm just careful all around his shine



And you are the mirror of my fears

The scariest things I feel

All fall and rain like the sweetest tears we know

Oh I just can't go



And I've been walking around

Gouging innocent eyes up from their grounds

His sex is out of reach on the highest shelf

There's nobody to blame so I'll blame myself

And all of his shiny eyes

Which were salvaged by a compromise



And you are the bearer of my fears

The lovliest things I feel

All fall and rain like the sweetest tears we know

Oh I just can't go...on down to the way we were
