Maybe You Are

They met when he was in a hospital He whispered "I ain't got no heart" into the room She said "I'll make you smile again" and made an airplane Out of some pretty words put in a spoon He said "I'll never see again My eyes are sorta twisted inwards, deep into my throat" She said "Don't worry babe, I'll open up your jam I'll open up my pretty self" and she laid down on his road Said "how do you know? Maybe you are" Said "how do you know? Maybe you are" Said "how do you know? Maybe you are" Maybe you are Maybe you are Maybe you are Maybe you are She peeled his skin away, so every day he'd cry And in those tears he'd lie to find some peace She broke from all his words, but she was made of mercury She'd come together later piece by piece And it became a game they played, under the blankets In the bed, pretending she was small and he was big She became so small, he could lift her, body and heart and all He held her up naked, she was just his fig, just his fig Said "how do you know? Maybe you are" Said "how do you know? Maybe you are" Said "how do you know? Maybe you are" Maybe you are Maybe you are Maybe you are Maybe you are Maybe you are Maybe you are Maybe you are
