Take it down while you lie    It's been so long since I saw you there   And I will no longer be your whipping boy   It's taken me a long time   And it's taken me a long time      And you should know how the heart    Is made of the sum of the lover's parts   But me, I cannot allow this thing to disappear    Or lose it in the sunshine    Or lose it in the sunlight      And I came to tell you what I told you Now you know this precious burden    On our shoulders, let it go    And it took a long time    For picking up what we should have left behind    And that's bound to make a mess of me      So would you call or would you write?    Can't be harder than it is tonight    And I'm staring blankly at this paper moon,    Shining at my slack jaw   And it's shining at my slack jaw      So send for me to your side    There's no stronger love than our love tonight   And I wear my heart upon my tennis shoes,    Laces always untied    And i'm standing on the other side
