Red Rover

My open heart

I shared it with ya,

I dropped my guard

You took a picture.

But just incase

It didn't suit you,

You kept another, other

In the bedroom.

Red, red rover

Send someone over

To satisfy your appetite for games.

The current's deep,

The water's colder

And it weighs heavy,

Heavy on your shoulders.

But no mermaid,

No hidden treasure

Could you find you peace

Or bring you pleasure.

Red, red rover

Send someone over

To satisfy our appetite for games.

Do we struggle now to speak

With words exploding at our feet

Another black box to discard

Another empty greetings card.

Do we struggle now to sleep

With all the knots tied in our sheets

Will the truth just pass us by

Or do we learn to let it lie.

Red, red rover

Send someone over

To satisfy your appetite for games.

Red, red rover

Send someone over

To satisfy your appetite...

So now I see

What I've been missing,

An open heart

To let the light in.
