Cold Hands (Warm Heart) Lyrics by Brendan Benson

The Alternative to Love

2005

Cold hands, warm heart
We just need some time apart
And everything will be okay
Oh no, not again
Why does it always happen?
It seems like every other day
You're too quiet, I'm too loud
Now we've rid a storm cloud
I'll see you on the other side
Old habits, young ways
Maybe we're just a phase
But we can say we really try
And it really shouldn't be this hard
You know it really shouldn't be
(You know it really shouldn't be)
And if we can only see it this far
Well then, I hate to say it, but it's obvious
I'm telling you, girl, there's no future for us
All talk, no action
So what's the big attraction?
And don't tell me it's "just because"
All work, no play
Don't wanna go on this way
I wanna go back to the way it was
And it really shouldn't be this hard
You know it really shouldn't be
And if we can only take it this far
Well then, we've got to end it before it's too late
The love that is left turns quickly to hate
Cold hands, warm heart
We just need some time apart
And everything will be okay
