Closing her eyes, she feels the room begin to punctuate
All the empty space his language left behind
The evening blows a better air, she can't stop gasping
There must be a war in her mind

Contemplating quiet now the weight of his decision
And all the intimate precision that she found
He seems to drift away, he can't tell the time of day
But he's sure that those hands are spinning 'round

Open up the hole in your heart
And let my hands pass through
You know I was only a child
When I felt that way for you

Hush your voice
I hear footsteps and they're
Trying to push right on through
They're stepping on everything that you do
Even boys hurt too

Lately I'm not sure where I've been
Must be the state I'm in
Lately I'm not sure who I've been
Must be the state I'm in
The state I'm in
Must be the state I'm in
Must be the state I'm in

Standing firm she's shaking so, the cannon fires another round
She stumbles and she sinks into her chair
Her fantasies have fallen low, an avalanche of prayers
The scenes she finds around her can't compare

Captured by the consequences of everything he'd rather be
But every time she smiles it set him free
The signs would seem to indicate that reconcile had come too late
If only their minds would agree

Open up the hole in your heart
And let my hands pass through
You know I was only a child
When I felt that way for you

Hush your voice
I hear footsteps and they're
Trying to push right on through
They're stepping on everything that you do
'Cause even boys love too

Lately I'm not sure where I've been
Must be the state I'm in
Lately I'm not sure who I've been
Must be the state I'm in
The state I'm in
Must be the state I'm in
Must be the state I'm in
