Maybe You Are

They met when he was in a hospital
He whispered I aint got no heart into the room

She said Ill make you smile again and made an airplane
Our of some pretty words, put in a spoon

He said Ill never see again… My eyes are sorta twisted inwards, deep into my throat

She said Dont worry babe, Ill open up your jam,
Ill open up my pretty self and laid down on the road.

She said how do you know? Maybe you are

She peeled his skin away, so every day hed cry
And in those years hed lie to find some peace

She broke from all his words, but she was made of mercury
Shed come together later, piece by piece

And it became a game they played, under the blankets
In the bed, pretending she was small and he was big.

She became so small he could lift her, body, heart and all,
He held her up naked; she was just his fig, just his fig.

She said how do you know? Maybe you are
