lyrics

My life once felt
Like a dusty shelf
And I was repelled
By my rusty self

So I told my heart
To grow up and move out
For holding me back
And wearing me out

When you moved out
I lost all source of heat
And gained an awful silence
Without your steady beat

Now this block of ice
Is lodged in my throat
Where the blood once flowed
Is now a frozen moat

Come on home, old heart of mine
You can be my black and blue valentine
I’ll never make you try to be
The calculating part of me

Come on home, old heart of mine
Ten years is such a long time
I’ll finally let you be
The living, beating
The living beating part of me
