lyrics

Twin
words and music by Dean Bonzani
copyright 1995

It's the way you cringe when I say you're beautiful
It's the way you crawl into yourself
Strikes me in a way I find familiar
Reminds me of somebody else

Don't we all want some words of encouragement
When our own courage begins to ebb
Can't we all use a dropper full of nourishment
For our thirsty souls— wouldn't hurt now and then

Try to drop a line into your solitude
But my attention makes it worse
My curiosity's a burden to me now
And my persistence is a curse

Don't we all want someone to ask us what we need
What's the matter— was it something that came out of me
When you're curled up in a ball and trembling like a leaf
Are you picturing the life that you would rather lead

Can I get you another magazine
Or build you a cabin in the trees
Would it help if I was happy
Would it help if I was happy

Tensed up, clenched, and wild-eyed
Like an animal that has chewed off its own leg
With no escape, I'll bet you'd chew through anything
To break free, and finally get away

Don't we all want someone to ask us what we need
What's the matter— was it something that came out of me
When you're curled up in a ball and trembling like a leaf
Are you picturing the life that you would rather lead

Well, I can't suspend your disbelief
But I can build you a cabin in the trees
Would it help if I was happy
Would it help if I was happy
Would it help if I apologized
For the times I've failed and the times I've tried
Would it help if I was happy
