about

Inspired by a passage from Steinbeck's East of Eden.

lyrics

You said you were fine
But you were lying to me
You had a hole in your heart
That everybody could see
The wind whistled through it
And you just hummed along
Until that tune in your heart
Became your favorite song

Said fold me up and take me in
Hold me together, baby, lets just pretend

You said you were fine
But you were lying too
You had a wall around your heart
Nobody could get through
And the wrecking ball, it swings
And the stones, they get thrown
Until they become the rhythm for your step
They become a beat of your own

We are going through the motions
dance this waltz
and start again
oh baby lets go through the motions
until its not just pretend
