Jesus called you on the weekend
Said he was busy but he'd check back in
And if it doesn't rain on your wedding day you'll know that he did
You'd convinced yourself that you'd find the right boy
At the school where your parents met
It was a couple of months and your mind was set
I always wanted just to swim in your lake
But I could never break through the ice
And though it's hard enough to shut me up now
In those days I always thought twice
Thinking you would rip out my tongue
You settled for my heart instead
And all these silly little words I've written stay left unsaid
Now I could build me an ark
Somewhere in the New York woods
And I could hole up for winter alone like it'd do me any good
I've got a ticket to ride on your carousel
But it lives right between my ears
Where the horses stay spinnin' for the rest of my years
Where the horses stay spinnin' making it clear
That I'll never have you
I'll never have you
No I'll never get to swim in your lake no matter how hard I try
And maybe I wasn't meant to be the chisel that breaks through your ice
So I'll learn to accept my role
And silently lay my arms down
Still, I wonder if things would be different had I opened my mouth
