Liplocked

Call us a surgeon 'cause we're locked at the lips
Help us please plumber 'cause we're locked at the hips
We're belted onto this old merry go round
Crying inside but not making a sound

These are the thoughts I wake up to each day
I just can't seem to keep your ghost at bay
The wolf is quite long gone from the door
Why do I keep waking up on the floor

I know the closing you spoke of can't be
But I only wanted one more chance to see
That unconditional love isn't always enough
Without trust and hope, it's a pillow of fluff

Words empty and helpless that sound pretty good
Like lighting a fire with two sticks of green wood
Our vision obscured by the smoke and the sweat
Roll the wheel of fortune and see what we get
