Love is like a cannonball
Open the door, or it will use the wall
And blow your heart into smithereens
Leave the prettiest mess that you’ve ever seen
But how does it go when you’re on your own
Love is a river, you’re a sinking stone
It rose like the sun, light filled up your home
But it sank like a bomb and left you shivering to the bone
Love is like a speeding train
It’ll take you where you’re going unless your standing in its way
And then it blows you right off the track
And leaves you with regrets that you can never take back
But these are the instruments we all paint with
The pigment of a prayer, the water of a myth
And we can destroy the only reason to live
Or we can create what they say don’t exist
And it all just turns to fire and rain
And you will never be the same again
It’s true, you may just be a pawn in the game
But then again, this may be no game at all
Love’s a cannonball
