"holes"

He’s got holes in his arm
The kind that glow in the dark
And I got holes draped around
My papercut heart

pre
I can’t fix you
Put you back together
With tape and glue
How’s a broken girl
Supposed to heal
A boy who’s broken, too?

chorus
Let’s marry our tragedies
Hold each other till we turn blue
Shut out the whole wide world
Make love under the Cheshire moon
The Cheshire moon

He’s got holes in his shirt
Not the kind from playing in the dirt
And I got holes in my hands
Scars left by another man

pre
I can’t fix you
Put you back together
With tape and glue
How’s a broken girl
Supposed to heal
A boy who’s broken, too?

chorus
Let’s marry our tragedies
Hold each other till we turn blue
Shut out the whole wide world
Make love under the Cheshire moon
The Cheshire moon

bridge
We’re like two halves
Of a missing whole
Two broken puzzle pieces
Soul to soul
Ironic but true
I found another broken
Home in you

pre
I can’t fix you
Put you back together
With tape and glue
How’s a broken girl
Supposed to heal
A boy who’s broken, too?

chorus
Let’s marry our tragedies
Hold each other till we turn blue
Shut out the whole wide world
Make love under the Cheshire moon
The Cheshire moon
The Cheshire moon
