Crying In Public

Take all my defenses in two words
And throw them away
Tell me, what kind of monster have I been today?
But you smile and call me tough guy
To the opposite effect
It's a flower in the gun
And the tough guy's a wreck

Sorry I'm crying in public this way
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
I'm sorry I'm causing a scene on the train
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you

Love will be the bridge
Over the sand
Love will be the key
From hand to hand

Like the peach you split open with two thumbs
I'm the half without a stone
And my heart is a hollow with a space for your own
Or whatever you want to do with it
And I'm blaming all beauty upon you
From the birds at my feet
To the breakdancing boys
And their boomboxes' beat, beat, beat

I'm sorry I'm crying in public this way
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
I'm sorry I'm causing a scene on the train
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you

Love will be the bridge
Over the sand
Love will be the key
From hand to hand

Each autumn leaf and passing breath
Each antidote to sudden death
And there we are
And who'd have guessed
That there it is, just like that
Forgive me

I'm sorry I'm crying in public this way
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
I'm sorry I'm causing a scene on the train
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you

Love will be the bridge
Over the sand
Love will be the key
From hand to hand
