Keep my love in a jar
Poke some holes in the lid
Make it cozy with a stick and some leaves
Feed it bits of my heart
Syrupy crimson shards
Wash my hands with warm water
Imagine the warmth of another
Knowing how clumsy I am
My wet grip lets it slip
From the shelf where it lives
And I'll be sweeping up the pieces
That hasn't happened yet
Small things grow significant
Remember that it's delicate
Anything worth keeping is
Feed it bits of my heart
Syrupy crimson shards
Wash my hands with warm water
Imagine the warmth of no other
Knowing how clumsy I am
My wet grip lets it slip
From the shelf
Lands in my palm
Lean the broom
Against the wall
Remember that it's delicate
Anything worth keeping is
Remember that it's delicate
Anything worth keeping is
Keep my love in my palm
Watch it run along
Till it reaches the edge
Then I pull it back again
Knowing how clumsy I am
My wet grip lets it slip
From the shelf where it lives
And I'll be sweeping up the pieces
Remember that it's delicate
Anything worth keeping is
Remember that it's delicate
Anything worth keeping is
