Testo Carolyn

Summer swept Chicago and left us with a little bit of rain.
We are trembling, glistening, listening to the rumble of the elevated train.
And I have never been afraid of opening myself up to a dream.
But now you've filled me like a bubble and the trouble is I'm bursting at the seams.
I can't leave you Carolyn.
It has never been so quiet and my heart will never beat this loud again.
I can't leave you Carolyn.
To walk back out amongst the strangers, strangers who've grown closer than my friends.
A square of sunlight on the bedspread and I stagger through the silence til you wake.
We kiss away the morning, wishing that the morning lasted all day.
I have never been afraid of opening myself up to a girl.
But now I've let you in and you begin to shake my precarious world. Sometimes love can be so lonely.
Sometimes love leaves you alone
