Covers Are Thrown

(album: Memories & Dust - 2007)

If you're to believe in the things that I say
You should know I speak up even when I'm afraid
Cause it scares me more to think you wouldn't know
How I feel when those covers get thrown
And I kick them off in the night when we're sleeping
So we wake from our warm dreams to find ourselves freezing
And you corner me on edge and expect that I'm fleeing
But it's just that those covers got thrown

You're enough for me
Am I enough for you?
And ordinarily I wouldn't ask such a question of you

And it's only recently to me occurred
That I'm not at all sure if I could take the hurt
Or the ache I'd incur from a heart-break like her
But it's too late those covers got thrown

You're enough for me
Am I enough for you?
And ordinarily I wouldn't ask such a question

But I've been investing much more than I'm worth
Fully expecting to collect a return
And based on the climate things could be much worse
But this gambling frightens me

Try not to be careless or jealous with hearts
And try not to think of the end from the start
And don't cripple your future with limps from your past
Cause it can get cold when those covers get thrown
