Lyrics
The days are wide open
At the heart of all my joy
Boys are invincible lovers
Just begging to be destroyed
They're up in the morning
Regretfully sobbing and gone
I bathed and go on back to bed
This was never any cause for alarm
Mm, it seems you have a choice to make
This shell is white and yours to break
Either way, it's just as well
All I need's a promise I can keep to myself
They leave with their lovers
Who all talk aloud in their sleep
Driftin' off into dreaming
Never as quiet as they seem to be
I know those mornings
Are as good as it ever can be
Feelin' our hearts are beatin'
Tenderly, two against three
It seems you have a choice to make
The shell is white and yours to break
Either way, it's just as well
All I need's a promise I can keep to myself
I'm nowhere near you
Nowhere near where I should be
Feelin' our hearts are beatin'
Tenderly, two against three
