Juliana Hatfield - Parking Lots lyrics

They cut you open to get at your heart Sounds like a metaphor for something but it's not Like a bad memory lodged in your mind With your eyes taped shut, a metaphor for blind When you were coming out, roads were closing up Fugitive kindness and love like raindrops It was so much more than the physical Don't break down till you get to the parking lot Keep it together until you're in your car Betrayed by the promise of a child That took away half your smile This is not where you thought you'd ever be When you finally made the move to leave So many questions still remain So many metaphors for pain They cut you open to get at your heart Sounds like a metaphor for something but it's not Like a bad memory lodged in your mind With your eyes taped shut, a metaphor for blind When you were coming out, roads were closing up Fugitive kindness and love just like raindrops It was so much more than the physical Don't break down till you get to the parking lot Keep it together till you're safe in your car Betrayed by the promise of a child That took away half your smile This is not where you thought you'd ever be When you finally made the move to leave So many questions still remain So many metaphors for pain Don't break down till you get to the parking lot Keep it together till you're in your car Betrayed by the promise of a child That took away half your smile This is not where you thought you'd ever be When you finally made the move to leave So many questions still remain So many metaphors for pain
