How Do You Hold On To Love
I've fallen in love with a girl in a photoShe's kissing a boy who I swear I once knewThe picture is faded, the image is distantBut I think that this girl must be youHer hair is reflecting the afternoon sunlightShe's thrown back her head and she's laughing with himHe's standing along side as he catches her fallBut they're both leaning out on a limbI'd love to find those two people and ask themHow do you hold such a delicate doveWhat do you use when you lose the excitementAnd how do you hold on to loveI've fallen in love with a cupboard of spicesReflecting the colors and flavors of usAll of the bottles and boxes and labelsAll the directions and fussA teaspoon of anger, a cup of confusionA pinch of denial and one paradoxCarefully measuring emotions for so longAll dried out and kept in a boxI'd love to ask all the spices and powdersLetras de cancionesJust when does your potency failIf we keep something long enough up on the shelfWill it always be bound to grow staleI've fallen love with a closet of clothingYour blouses and dresses, your robe and your shoesThe cats like to sleep on the shelf with the blanketsBut I prefer sleeping with youAll of this time we've been hanging togetherOur fibers and threads touching days after daysSometimes so soft I could never remove youOther times rubbing wrong waysI'd like to know how those clothes in the closetSurvive all the wrinkles, the rips and the stainsAnd what do we do when our sizes are changingAnd how do we grow with the gainsI've fallen in love with some girl in a photoHow can I hold such a delicate doveWhat can we do to recapture excitementAnd how do we hold on to love?How do you hold on to love?
