photographs and mosquito bites
razorblades and state lines
knees firmly bent backwards
jumping through fireless hoops
it's not worth the risk
Carolina
hold on just once more
you know i'll let go
and fail to catch you as you fall
from your brick wall

we could move to London and escape it all
just set ourselves up for one big fall
yeah, i'm afraid to love
afraid to love

Carolina, i can't stop your suffering
but i could give you the kinda loving a girl like you wants
survey it all
it says take the chance
we could be something more than this
i've changed my mind
let's get married
put a ring to our suffering
and bring kids into this painful world
yeah, a little game we can play
now it's your turn.
