Legs and Arms

There is a light on the window it's blinding me
Tarry lump in my throat burning hard
Paying prices for choices made carelessly
I need air let me out of the car

I said sorry and cried like a child for you
Gave you space while I turned in the dark
You lay blame at my door for the child that grew
In your stomach all legs and arms

I, I showed up
I gave my hand to you
In a stark white room
Too fast to take in
The weight of mutual sin
This thing we did

And I, I, I, could have been better

It's not a matter of time we are old enough, old enough
Forced your God to the side, we let go of a new life
Not a question of right, we were partners in a selfish crime
It's our right to decide but it was more than love we lost tonight

Take my jacket and please remember
I didn't run though I had my chance to leave
Left me stood in the planning centre
Face white and weak at the knee

Broke my fist on a panel beater
What a riot my mother would be proud
A bloody nose and a cell to sleep in
Another joke from a steaming clown

I, I, I could have been better

It's not a matter of time we are old enough, old enough
Forced your God to the side, we let go of a new life
Not a question of right, we were partners in a selfish crime
It's our right to decide but it was more than love we lost tonight

I, I showed up
I gave my hand to you
In a stark white room
Too fast to take in
The weight of mutual sin
This thing we did

Oh legs oh legs and arms
Oh legs oh legs and arms
Oh legs oh legs and arms
Oh legs oh legs and arms
