lyrics

It’s a delicate dance but we’re not the most graceful
We’re taking a chance with our love on the line
& I know in a while we’ll look back & we’ll laugh
But right now it’s more serious than I’d like.

We’ve taken our time, but I’m growing impatient.
The touch of your skin sets my heart on fire
I don’t want to leave with all these feelings wasted
& I don’t want to be afraid of my desires.

Well aren’t we just a couple artists without brushes
We're saying too much with our lips sewn shut
& our best intentions aren’t good enough
to satisfy our bleeding hearts.

It’s late in the evening but we're wide awake
I can hear your heart beating from a mile away.
I’m drumming my fingers to my own heart’s racings
While you're inching on closer to our glory days

Well aren’t we just a couple artists without brushes
We're saying too much with our lips sewn shut
Our best intentions aren’t good enough
to satisfy our bleeding hearts.

Well aren’t we just a couple writers without stories
The harder we try the more the pages run
& our best intentions they struggle for their footing
While we stand at the edge of it all…

Or maybe we'll fall... maybe.

Well aren’t we just a couple artists without brushes
We're saying too much with our lips sewn shut
Our best intentions aren’t good enough
to satisfy our bleeding hearts.

Oh aren't we just a couple poets without verses
We can't seem to find the reason or rhyme
& our best intentions will be long lost & forgotten
& we won't care at all
