Crying In Public

Take on my defenses, two words and throw them away
Tell me what kind of monster have I been today?
But you smile and call me, tough guy to the opposite effect
It’s a flower in the gun and the tough guy’s a wreck

Sorry, I’m crying in public this way
I’m falling for you
I’m falling for you
I’m sorry I’m causing a scene on the train
I’m falling for you
I’m falling for you
Oh, love will be the bridge
Over the sand
Love will be the key
From hand to hand

Like the peach you split open with two thumbs, I’m the half without a stone
And my heart is a hollow with a space for your own
Or whatever you want to do with it
And I blame it on beauty if I knew, from the birds at my feet
To the break-dancing boys and their boomboxes, beat, beat, beat

Sorry, I’m crying in public this way
I’m falling for you
I’m falling for you
I’m sorry I’m causing a scene on the train
I’m falling for you
I’m falling for you
Oh, love will be the bridge
Over the sand
Love will be the key
From hand to hand

Each autumn leaf in the passing breath
Each anecdote to sudden death
And there we are, and who’d have guessed?
That there it is, just like that, forgive

Sorry, I’m crying in public this way
I’m falling for you
I’m falling for you
I’m sorry I’m causing a scene on the train
I’m falling for you
I’m falling for you
Oh, love will be the bridge
Over the sand
Love will be the key
From hand to hand
