Maybe You Are Lyrics

Asaf Avidan Maybe You Are

They met when he was in a hospital
He whispered "I ain't got no heart" into the room

She said "I'll make you smile again" and made an airplane
Our of some pretty words, put in a spoon

He said "I'll never see again… My eyes are sorta twisted
inwards, deep into my throat"

She said "Don't worry babe, I'll open up your jam,
I'll open up my pretty self" and laid down on the road.

She said "how do you know? Maybe you are"

She peeled his skin away, so every day he'd cry
And in those years he'd lie to find some peace

She broke from all his words, but she was made of mercury
She'd come together later, piece by piece

And it became a game they played, under the blankets
In the bed, pretending she was small and he was big.

She became so small he could lift her, body, heart and
all,
He held her up naked; she was just his fig, just his fig.

She said "how do you know? Maybe you are
