it's a heartbreak even situation
  nothing lost and nothing gained
  so i'm 10 years old again
  standing in the backyard waving at a train
    i feel you make love to me slightly
  every time you let a little laugh slip too soon
  and the moment passes over us so lightly
  it feels like sand blowing over a dune
    you try not to let your emotions show
  but it ain't a balloon you can just let go
  it's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun
  sticky hands
  sticky arms
  sticky situation
    it's a heartbreak even situation
  one part powerful elation
  one part pitiful and frail
  and i'm trying to feel my way around
  a book of promises written in braille
    there is pressure from within this
  and pressure from above
  there is pressure on our tenuous, strenuous love
  and there's wet wool blankets one, two, three
  laid onto my chest
  'til i just can't breathe
    and i try not to let my emotions show
  but it ain't a balloon i can just let go
  it's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun
  sticky hands
  sticky arms
  sticky situation
