Always on the outside looking in on other's lives
Dodging your memories a field of knives
And the nations toil for peace
No match for the predators of pain inside her
And my words are paper tigers
The wide world spins and spits turmoil
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true
To see the shiny toy, I've been hoping for the one I never can afford
Guess I wasn't the best one to ask
Only love can soothe that beast
Where there's now one, there will be two
But the paws of fear upon your chest
And I say love will come to you
I say love will come to you
As if I offered up a crystal ball to look through
Even though I know I'm not this time
As if I've offered up a crystal ball to look through
I was born under the sign of Cancer
Learn to pretend, there's more than love that matters
Strength from the milk of human kindness
I'm always closing my eyes and wishing I'm fine
A safe place for all, the pieces that scattered

Up against love's glass
Where there's now one, there will be two
Songwriter: Emily Ann Saliers
And I wish her insight to battle love's blindness
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true
Where there's now one, there will be two
Me myself with my face pressed
Like brushing cloth I smooth the wrinkles for an answer
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true
As if I offered up a crystal ball to look through
I say, love will come to you
