My open heart
I shared it with ya
I dropped my guard
You took a picture

But just incase
It didn't suit you
You kept another, other
In the bedroom

Red, red rover
Send someone over
To satisfy your appetite for games

The current's deep
The water's colder
And it weighs heavy
Heavy on your shoulders

But no mermaid
No hidden treasure
Could you find you peace
Or bring you pleasure

Red, red rover
Send someone over
To satisfy our appetite for games

Do we struggle now to speak
With words exploding at our feet
Another black box to discard
Another empty greetings card

Do we struggle now to sleep
With all the knots tied in our sheets
Will the truth just pass us by
Or do we learn to let it lie

Red, red rover
Send someone over
To satisfy your appetite for games

Red, red rover
Send someone over
To satisfy your appetite

So now I see
What I've been missing
An open heart
To let the light in
