Washes Away

I can laugh at this dream
And if I drown I'll wake in the morning
This is liquid love in a plastic cup
And if it leaks we can plug it right back up

Pain is a rain that washes away
I'm a fabric you can't stain
To make light of you is all that I have
So understand me if I laugh

You were sleeping and your eyes
They were gone for a while
You were screaming
And I searched for the lines of your smile

This is peace and I know
'Cause I'm too tired to cry
I'll never get close to you
And I'm just too distracted to try

Pain is a rain that washes away
I'm a fabric you can't stain
To fall into this is not what I want
So understand me if I don't

Love is a glove that just doesn't fit
No matter how you pull at it
To make light of you is all that I have
So understand me if I laugh

It is late I won't ask you to stay or to stroke
I have never gotten warm from you huddling close
If you danced I might take you right up in my arms
But you don't so I whisper this is all

This is all
All
