..Verse..
Some philosophies fuel a belief in the self,
constructed to keep one's goods on one's own shelf.
Built well you're a strong letter I,
with your feet on the ground and your head to the sky.
Now and then you can bend,
it's okay to lean over, lean over my way.
You fear that you can't do it all,
and you're riiiight.
Even day takes relief every day
from its work making light from the night.
..Chorus..
When you're holding me
we make a pair of parentheses.
There's plenty of space to encase
whatever weird way my mind goes,
I know Ill be safe in these arms. (x2)
..Bridge..
If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
of course Ill put my arm around you
and Ill walk you outside,
through the sliding doors,
why would I mind? (x2)
You're not a baby if you feel the world.
All of the babies can feel the world. That's why they cry.
..Chorus..
And when you're holding me
we make a pair of parentheses.
There's plenty space to encase
whatever weird way my mind goes,
I know Ill be safe in these arms. (x2)
..Bridge..
If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
you know Ill put my arm around you
and Ill walk you outside,
through the sliding doors,
why would I mind?
All of the babies can feel the world. That's why they cry.
..Chorus..
And when you're holding me
we make a pair of parentheses.
There's plenty space to encase
whatever weird way my mind goes,
I know Ill be safe in these arms. (x2)
