Undone

UNDONE
| 2003

candy-coated nothing
is all you've given me
these wares that we've been hustlin'
ain't quite enough to set us free

my heart is modern architecture
all carpentry and glass
i'm filled with rules and their exceptions
and a barrell full of questions
i never thought to ask

you know it sometimes rains here in my room
but i still manage to get a little sun
if i never see your face again,
laughing in the light of the moon,
i'll still believe you were the one
to make me come undone

my expectations vary
for what the big bad future holds
like texas in february
if i'm warm today, tonight i will be cold

but i will love you either way
love in return is optional
i like my romance like a novel
'cause i'm an artful dodger
of sensibility disguised as obstacle

and though it sometimes rains here in my room
i still manage to get plenty o' sun
if i never see your face again
laughing in the light of the moon,
i'll still swear you were the one
to make me come undone

so i will sing you in a love song
'cause baby, that's what i do best
and when my heart finally sits still
like a bird on a window sill
that's when i get to stop and rest

you know, i don't mind it raining in my room
'cause i've been burned by the sun
if i never see your face again
laughing in the light of the moon,
i'll still swear you were the one
to make me come undone
