Cold Hands, Warm Heart
Cold Hands, Warm Heat (Brendan Benson) Cold hands, warm heart
We just need some time apart
And everything will be okay
Oh no, not again
Why does it always happen?
It seems like every other day
You're too quiet, I'm too loud
Now we've rid a storm cloud
I'll see you on the other side
Old habits, young ways
Maybe we're just a phase
But we can say we really try
And it really shouldn't be this hard
You know it really shouldn't be
And if we can only see it this far
Well then I hate to say it, but it's obvious
I'm telling you, girl, there's no future for us
All talk, no action
So what's the big attraction?
And don't tell me it's "just because"
All work, no play
Don't wanna go on this way
I wanna go back to the way it was
And it really shouldn't be this hard
You know it really shouldn't be
And if we can only take it this far
Well then we've got to end it before it's too late
The love that is left turns quickly to hate
Cold hands, warm heart
We just need some time apart
And everything will be okay
This was what shocked me into wakefulness as I was drifting in and out of a restless (and untimely) sleep. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard it, and neither is it the first time it hit that hard - to the point of being nauseated. But this time around, I really don’t want this to be the case. The end of September ushered in the advent of cold hands for me. I don’t want anther rainy day regret. . .
