lyrics

Although I guess that I will never truly know all the things your heart can do,
I'll offer up my withered olive branch and hope it looks like a Christmas tree to you.
I know that I have no legal recourse, and all the pleas in the world won't alter things.
Impossible, but I must accept I've fallen short with the girl of my dreams.

I wrecked your intricate stipple art by trying to connect the dots.
My good intentions alone couldn't make up for all I'm not.
The shame of failure dictates that I act as oppressed as the Falun Gong.
I can protest all I want, but wrong for the right reasons is still wrong.

Though I deserve to be with you by any rational measure,
I also know love's not about staring at a ledger
and keeping score with tally marks and accounting equations.
Your heart's in charge and I can't argue with its dumb-ass proclamations.

Please give me time-maybe we can talk
and try to construct a bridge over the abyss.
But for right now, all I can hope is that
at some point I'll believe a word of this.
