build a bridge between 2 hearts,
with DELICATE METAL, & a few spare parts,
when it feels like it’s too hard,
treat it as a work of art,

I believe in the blessing of strangers,
I can see there’s an imminent danger,
but it seems like, sooner or later,
these tears are gonna dry…

watch the ocean misbehave,
every angry, crashing wave,
so if you thought that you were tame,
the ocean tells you: think again

I believe in the blessing of strangers,
I can see there’s an imminent danger,
still it seems like, sooner or later,
these tears are gonna dry…

there’s a movie right behind my eyes,
when I sleep, I’ve watched 100 times,
but I wake before the final scene,
I don’t know how to end this dream..

two Spanish verbs I can’t keep straight
for states that change, and some that stay,
this heart is broken, this heart’s pure,
I learned it once, but I’m not sure,
I got a B back in 10th grade,

I believe in the blessing of strangers,
I can see there’s an imminent danger,
but it seems like, sooner or later,
these tears are gonna dry…
