Arm Yourself

Walking over wood That they call a floor Talking with the one You couldn't buy at a store Whether it was happenstance Side glance or l'amour You're here And this is what it's for You shade yourself two hues darker Than the stucco on the wall And two shades brighter than the shadow That follows you on the floor You save yourself You save yourself I'd shout it through the halls If my voice wasn't so tired And my will to shout so small And I felt You were upset Because you only have two hands So I say Baby That's all we get But with these hands We can make our worlds to glow If we'd only learn If we'd only learn to touch And then let go I understand the symptoms And the choices you've made And I know which track to catch a train That would take me far away But these leaves were never so green And the sky never so blue And these birds singing their songs They remind me what I was here to do I felt You were upset 'Cause you only have two hands So I say Baby That's all we get But with these hands We can shape our worlds to glow If we'd only learn If we'd only learn To touch And then let go I felt you were upset Because you only have two hands So I say Baby That's all you get But with these hands We can make our worlds to glow If you'd only learn If you'd only learn to trust And then let go
