i can laugh at this dream
and if i drown i'll wake in the morning
this is liquid love in a plastic cup
and if it leaks we can plug it right back up
pain is a rain that washes away
i'm a fabric you can't stain
to make light of you is all that i have
so understand me if i laugh
you were sleeping
and your eyes they were gone for a while
you were screaming
and i searched for the lines of your smile
this is peace and i know 'cause i'm too tired to cry
i'll never get close to you and i'm just too distracted to try
pain is a rain that washes away
i'm a fabric you can't stain
to fall into this is not what i want
so understand me if i don't
love is a glove that just doesn't fit
no matter how you pull at it
to make light of you
is all that i have
so understand me if i laugh
it is late i won't ask you to stay or to stroke
i have never gotten warm from you huddling close
if you danced i might take you right up in my arms
but you don't
so i whisper this is all
this is all all
