lyrics

i wish that i could hold your heart
carry it gently in my hands
but my arms are just not strong enough
to hold what i don't understand
and if i knew you like you know me
maybe i could find a way
but this disconnect is fatal
and i'm a foreigner gone astray

you can take the new england lake you go to
i'll settle with the southern land
it's just happenstance
that i had ever really known you

so go pack up all your records
the ones i borrowed from your drawer
and all those postcards stuck in novels
we don't need them anymore
i tell you if i knew you like you know me
maybe we could find a way
but this candle wick is low now
we can blow out the fading flame

and you can take the new england lake you go to
i'll settle with the southern land
it's just happenstance
that i had ever really known you
