Breaking Up Lyrics by Eskimo Joe

Black Fingernails, Red Wine

2006

[Verse 1]
A handful of sand
Is all that you grab
As you're watching the money fall
Right through your hands
It took such a long, long time now
To build on demand
But this is a war in the cradle of
This modern man

[Chorus]
Does this mean we're breaking up
Does this mean we're breaking up
Does this mean we're breaking up
Like stones again
Like stones again

[Verse 2]
A mouthful of glass
That cuts up your words
You better watch that nothing's falling out
Watching nothing is heard

[Chorus]
Does this mean we're breaking up
Does this mean we're breaking up
Does this mean we're breaking up
Like stones again

[Bridge]
It took a long, long, long, long time
To reverse like a curse
It took a long, long, long, long time
It took a long, long, long, long time

[Verse 3]
And these are the words in the pages of
And this is the law of unspoken love
And this is a war in the cradle of
This modern man

[Outro]
Does this mean we're breaking up
Does this mean we're breaking up
Does this mean we're breaking up
Does this mean we're breaking up (Like stones again)
Does this mean we're breaking up (Like stones again)
Does this mean we're breaking up (Like stones again)
Does this mean we're breaking up (Like stones again)
Does this mean we're breaking up (Like stones again)
Like stones again
Stones again
Like stones again
Stones again
