A Pair Of Handcuffs With No Key

from Dance When You're Broken Open by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

I used to think love would set me free
But you're a pair of handcuffs with no key
You're last year's eclipse seen through a telescope
If I stare too long will I go blind with hope

I used to hope my heart could be your home
But I wake up in a birdcage made of bone
You're the alchemist that turns the air to gold
I'm the masochist that always asks for more

Dreams get so wild
Turn down the lights
Draw the blinds & close the doors
You are a light
That casts shadows so wide
But shadows never keep you warm

You'll be the song of the summer
Eyes that dance like a flame
Lift me up like no other
I don't know how to be safe

Confessions that sound like a promise
You make me less of a fake
I'd rather be blind than be honest
Can you roll my burden away
