Red Rover - Paper Aeroplanes

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

So now I see

What I’ve been missing

An open heart

To let the light in
