Coda

Your heart is made of stone
Didn't you know mine is too?

"You and I, kid
We're gonna make history."

I believe you, baby doll
And I'll be the first to admit that you scare me real bad
Because you're the very definition of fine art
And with you
Just maybe
I can pull it all off

I could travel to the greenest jungles
Or cross the longest bridges
It's not so hard

My blood used to run like olive oil
And my heart would make me real heated
I'd been broken down, torn apart and rebuilt from the ground up
Because sometimes you've got to start anew
And shed the skin that let you down

"I know a thing or two about that, in all of my years it just hasn't felt like it ever truly worked out."

Until now?

"Until now."

I'm gonna become a gambler
A real god damned betting man
Put it all on the fun we can have
And yeah, I'm moving on
I'm not looking back
Only running fast
Into your arms
Where it's safe
Where I can bury all of my secrets
Because I just don't trust my safe anymore.

"Our hearts are made of stone but our naked skin wrestles softly together, you feel like silk and yeah I can see the years have gotten to you but they've gotten to me too. Nothing else matters when it's me and you."

Nothing else matters when it's just me and you.
