I was slicing up an avocado
When you came up behind me
With your silent brand new sneakers
Your reflection I did not see

It was the hottest day in August
And we were heading for the sea
For a second my mind started drifting
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me

Blood spraying on the kitchen sink
What's this I had time to think
I see the tip of my index finger
My mind is slowly creating a link

From your mouth speaks your lovely voice
The softest words ever spoken
"What's broken can always be fixed,
and what's fixed will always be broken"
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me

I must have passed out on the porch
Dreamt I was carried in a kangaroo's pouch
When I wake I'm in the waiting room
on a dirty hospital couch

My hand is wrapped in toilet paper
And my body is wrapped in debris
You're sitting next to me reading the paper
And put your arm around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
