lyrics

No one hates you
It’s beyond them
When your lip starts to quiver
There’s a crying shoulder
When you start to shiver
As the air grows colder
Everybody comes running
With wood for the fire
And dear, you look stunning
But it’s my desire
To set some boundaries
Oh, it’s strange: although
You might pout and say “please”
Someone might say “no”

I’ve always got
One foot in the lifeboat
Oh, a storm’s always brewing
When you’re in the ocean
And you meet your undoing
With a change of emotion
So I batten down the hatches
And I fasten the locks
And I put away the matches
You’re a tinderbox
Yeah, you’re a lovely person
But I’ve got to go
‘Cause when things worsen
You’re about to blow

When we hear the alarm bells
And we feel the force
As soon as the sea swells
Then we break off course
Will we walk on eggshells
To stay safe and sound?
Or will somebody else
Help me stand our ground?
