The dial tone is all that sings
It's raining hard inside and far away
What's so new
This never-ending drama won't fade
My guts are coil and my only drain

Will this ever end
It's breaking heart, it's bruising head
Why does the good go so bad?
All the joy is fading fast

Contradictions they are killing me
A pretzel logic makes her hard to receive
So fall out again
And swallow me whole
Everythings changed
From blowing kisses to throwing stones

Night trade with day
And let dawn begin to break
Once again she knows me to well
How to heal and how to help

For awhile I am saved by her smile
And all the harm comes undone
Just soon enough to stop the flood
The overflow
Should her charm not hold
It could drown me today
Must the river run so high my love

Will this ever end
It's breaking heart, it's bruising head
Why does the good go so bad?
All the joy is fading fast

Night trade with day
And let dawn begin to break
And she knows me
How to help and how to break me

For awhile I am saved by her smile
And all the harm comes undone
Just soon enough to stop the flood
The overflow
Should her charm not hold
It could drown me today
Must the river run so high my love

You know your smile can dam the river that I have of... You

You know your smile can dam the river that I have of you

Smiles can dam the river
Smiles can dam the river
Smiles can dam the river
Smiles can dam the river
