Steal my heart
Hold my hand
We’re on Decarie
Lily, this is my favorite band

Not long after
I met someone new
His childlike wonder
Reminded me of you

It didn’t take much
The perfect picket fence
We ran down every corner
I lost my steel defense

Oh it didn’t take much
Green eyes on the girl in blue
Papa I saw it coming
But there wasn’t much to do

I’m older now
And you are too
You take me around the world
Papa, I met someone new

He’s mighty and quick
Devilish, I feel sick
And he’s got that same wonder
Papa, I’m in trouble

He steals my heart
He holds my hand
The truth all around us
A tight noose, a fraying band

No it didn’t take much
A shot in the dark
Whoozy eyes
Fickle hearts

The tents and chairs put to sleep
The river gnawing at my feet
The carnival forgotten in the morning
Papa, I never saw it coming

This one I didn’t plan
But he likes your song
Even knows your band

Where is my heart
Where is my hand
It’s not mine or his
It’s all mixed up

Papa will you hold my hand?
