lyrics

I've been feeling sorta fragile all the time
since you took your car back and your keys
with the St. Mary medallion on them,
do you really need them? Maybe
you've been taking all the doorways that I'm not through.
I want to know you like your Mom
knows kayaking and your Dad knows what it's like
to lose a parent at such a young age.
I don't want to loose you like I lost your keys,
do you really need them back anyways?
Do you even use your car that much, your bike
is so lovely and blue.
My saving grace, your eyes are awfully blue,
early and instant blue.
