The Premature Break-up Song
Verse
If I sketched on scraps of paper
The laughter in your eyes
May I refuse to paint your sadness
When it’s all you feel inside?
I know, I avoid the tragedies
Verse
If I decide to trace a line
Where your feet parted from mine
Will you let me keep it etched
In my memory for some time?
I know, I’ll have nothing to show for it
Chorus
And when the stars fall
I’ll have to stop myself
From calling you back home
Verse
If I wrote you up as January
And told only the dark
May I take it out and read it
When I can’t find my own heart?
I know, it’s too much to ask of you
Verse
If I drew another circle
Around the borders of your heart
Will you let me catch the pieces
When it falls apart?
I know, I’ll deserve no piece of it
Chorus
And when the stars fall
I’ll have to stop myself
From calling you back home
