I went to bat without a helmet
I went to bed without a cover
Pissed off the bully in the schoolyard
Overprotected by my mother
I dove into uncertain waters
I gave my heart to perfect strangers
I let my demons overtake me
I let that breathless, aching
choir of shadows shake me
I stole your image from an old play
Created feelings out of smoke rings
Gave you a minute on my odd day
Mistook those crumbs for milk and honey
Crawled back to meet you in the subway
Forgot to notice where they days went
Finally stopped asking what it all meant
Seasons, ceremonies stumble through the park
What it all meant, what's the use in lying?
This love I feel is death-defying
I took a walk by the ocean
To savor that mystic scene
It took a rainbow of painful reminders
to make me come clean
I stole your image from an old play
Created feelings out of smoke rings
Gave you a minute on my odd day
Mistook those crumbs for milk and honey
Crawled back to meet you in the subway
Forgot to notice where they days went
Finally stopped asking what it all meant
