Cellophane

Sun-soaked high hopes

Wear them as my winter coat

To keep out the cold

But try as I might

I can’t hide the mysteries that you read in my eyes

But oh, no no no

Wrap my heart in cellophane

Keep it dry when it rains

And maybe that way

I’ll keep it safe from you

Masquerading

I watch the shadows play on your opaque face

But sparks fly from your cobalt eyes

And I can see through your disguises

But oh, no no no

Wrap your heart in cellophane

Keep it dry when it rains

And maybe that way

You’ll keep it safe from me

Wrap our hearts in cellophane

Keep them dry when it rains

And maybe that way

We’ll keep them safe
