Accidental Babies (Damien Rice)

Our bodies moved and hardened

Hurting parts of your garden

With no room for a pardon

In a place where no one knows what we have done



Do you come

Together ever with him?

And is he dark enough?

Enough to see your light?

And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?

Do you miss my smell?

And is he bold enough to take you on?

Do you feel like you belong?

And does he drive you wild?

Or just mildly free?

What about me?



Well you held me like a lover

Sweaty hands

And my foot in the appropriate place



And we use cushions to cover

Happy glands

In the mild issue of our disgrace



Our minds pressed and guarded

While our flesh disregarded

The lack of space for the light-hearted

In the boom that beats our drum



Well I know I make you cry

And I know sometimes you wanna die

But do you really feel alive without me?

If so, be free

If not, leave him for me

Before one of us has accidental babies

For we are in love



Do you come

Together ever with him?

Is he dark enough?

Enough to see your light?

Do you brush your teeth before you kiss?

Do you miss my smell?

And is he bold enough to take you on?

Do you feel like you belong?

And does he drive you wild?

Or just mildly free?



What about me?

What about me?
