I've seen you too many times
The metal in your face giving way to that squareness
Of granite jawbone and heart made of whale bone and blubber
To see your disposition is to know the meaning of compression
Coal turns to diamonds and dreams under less duress...
You're in love now
And I often wonder how you keep your pretty little heart from exploding
onto the streets and people you meet
Maybe that's your private challenge like a deadly high stakes game of
hot potato
See who'll be caught holding the bomb of heart...
Truth is I understand.
But you will explode on day.
If you don't release.
