My open heart
I shared it with ya
I dropped my guard
You took a picture
But just incase
It didn't suit you
You kept another, other
In the bedroom
CHORUS:
Red, red rover
Send someone over
To satisfy your appetite for games
The current's deep
The water's colder
And it weighs heavy
Heavy on your shoulders
But no mermaid
No hidden treasure
Could you find you peace
Or bring you pleasure
CHORUS:
Red, red rover
Send someone over
To satisfy our appetite for games
Do we struggle now to speak
With words exploding at our feet
Another black box to discard
Another empty greetings card
Do we struggle now to sleep
With all the knots tied in our sheets
Will the truth just pa** us by
Or do we learn to let it lie
CHORUS:
Red, red rover
Send someone over
To satisfy your appetite for games
Repeat
So now I see
What I've been missing
An open heart
To let the light in
