it's a heartbreak even situation   nothing lost and nothing gained   so i'm 10 years old again   standing in the backyard waving at a train      i feel you make love to me slightly   every time you let a little laugh slip too soon   and the moment passes over us so lightly   it feels like sand blowing over a dune      you try not to let your emotions show   but it ain't a balloon you can just let go   it's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun   sticky hands   sticky arms   sticky situation      it's a heartbreak even situation   one part powerful elation   one part pitiful and frail   and i'm trying to feel my way around   a book of promises written in braille      there is pressure from within this   and pressure from above   there is pressure on our tenuous, strenuous love   and there's wet wool blankets one, two, three   laid onto my chest   'til i just can't breathe      and i try not to let my emotions show   but it ain't a balloon i can just let go   it's an ice cream cone dripping in the sun   sticky hands   sticky arms   sticky situation
