Kid Gloves

from For the Sea by cavepainters

lyrics

you know I would've waited
but you just took too long
and you know I would've called you
but I dialed your number wrong
and you can smell the beer
on the breath of my song
but I can't touch you
with my kid gloves on

oh my darlin
oh my honey babe

how can you pretend
to be so chaste
when everyone I know says
you have impeccable taste?
and I don't even know
why you keep me around
when I can't touch you
without leaving the ground

and sometimes love dies
sometimes it doesn't come back
sometimes love dies
sometimes it doesn't come back

and all of my friends
are at each others' throats
you don't have to list your grievances
'cause I know them by rote
and I'm trying to be careful, babe,
and I'm walkin' on broken glass
but I can't touch you
without bringing up the past

and sometimes love dies
sometimes it doesn't come back
sometimes love dies
and sometimes it doesn't come back

and I wish that you didn't have to
see me like this
but I can't even remember
the last time that we kissed
and I've got nothing to feel sorry for
and if you don't like it,
then there's the door
and I can't touch you
without hurting you some more

and sometimes love dies
sometimes it doesn't come back
and sometimes love dies
sometimes it doesn't come back
