Barriers

Aniseed kisses and lipstick traces
Lemonade sipped in Belgian rooms
Couldn’t replace the graceful notions
That clung to me when I clung to you

And they touch you like no one touched you
When you broke they were there with bloom
And the kindness was not a weakness
When they were there they were there for you

But will they love you, the way, the way I loved you?
We jumped over the barriers
Jumped over the barriers

And a world that was wrapped in tinsel
Invitations and fountain pens
But the heart is a lonely hunter
It trapped you once and it will trap you again

But will they love you, the way, the way I loved you?
We jumped over the barriers
Jumped over the barriers

Will they love you, the way, the way I loved you?
We jumped over the barriers
Jumped over the barriers

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh…)
Jumped over the barriers
Jumped over the barriers
Jumped over the barriers
Jumped over the barriers
