Our Rebellion

What is wrong? Have you forgot I'm not a stranger? You're lead-footed and headstrong And the quiet turns me into a rambler When it's all said and done I'm not here looking for a fight But if love is our rebellion Put me on the front lines We're miles away and rooms apart Heavy metal and Mozart I'm not trying to classify you We're running with the cattle Drinking with the herd Living by the written word I'm not trying to simplify you I'm not the only one Putting a bruised ego on some ice But if love is our rebellion Put me on the front lines Your eyes are checkers on a board But babe I'm not competing Who is it we're working for? The war or the treaty You walk a fine rope I draw a clean line You're sealed as an envelope And I give you a piece of my mind You speak in numbers And I sing in metaphor Long is the window And hidden is the door I'm not your enemy But I cannot be your sense of pride If love is our insanity Then I'm losing my mind Then I'm losing my mind Like drawing a picture with an oven mitt Neither one of us are seeing it
