the blitz

A part of me just knew it
From the time I said "I love you" we were sunk
And although I'd like to think you'll come around
I know I don't have that much luck

There's something in my memory
And it won't allow me to take the fall
So if you think I'm gonna give up girl
You must not understand me at all

The very first time that I held your hand
I found myself in the middle of a marching band
And every moment since that day
I've known that love can slip away
So easily
So darling when you think it might be time to call it quits
Open up your heart and
Brace yourself for the blitz.

I learned about persuasion
And the subtle art of compromise
But the rational voices in my head
Are drowned out by the battle cries

The very first time I saw your smile
I found myself in the company of a gospel choir
And every step I've taken since
Has given me the evidence
That what we have can vanish easily
So when you think it might be time to call it quits
Open up your heart and
Brace yourself for the blitz.

end.
