If We Were Words (We Would Rhyme)

Wandering hearts
Ticking together
But always apart
Open the door and the future restarts
But I'd never claim you were mine
Just if we were words we would rhyme

Caution then regret
A cowardly dog barking empty threats
Backtracking
Dancing
As patterns are set
But I'd never claim you were mine
Just if we were words we would rhyme

Picked and processed within twenty seven days
Delivery free
Send me round the globe and back again to you a flower
Wheels come off and hobble over to the next replacement of choice
But you were the sentence that gave me a voice
Now I cry
As we by the by

And I will always wonder
How it would be if we never had met
Life would be easier
But dull
I suspect
You'd ask me to keep it discreet
So I'll sing a song of deceit
And I'd never claim you were mine
Just if we were words
We would rhyme
If we were words
We would rhyme
