Maybe You Are

We 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 lay down in his robe

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 everyday he'd cry

And in those tears he'd lie

To find some peace

She'd break from all his words

But she was made of mercury

She'd come together later

Piece by piece

And it became a game

They'd play under the blankets

In the bed, pretending she was small

And he was big

Then she became so small

He could lift her

Body and heart and all

He held her up naked

She was just as fair

Uh just as fair

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
