Cold Hands Warm Heart Lyrics - Brendan Benson

Cold hands, warm heart 

We just need some time apart 

And everything will be okay 

Oh no, not again 

Why does it always happen? 

It seems like every other day 

You're too quiet, I'm too loud 

Now we've rid a storm cloud 

I'll see you on the other side 

Old habits, young ways 

Maybe we're just a phase 

But we can say we really try 

And it really shouldn't be this hard 

You know it really shouldn't be 

And if we can only see it this far 

Well then I hate to say it, but it's obvious 

I'm telling you, girl, there's no future for us 

All talk, no action 

So what's the big attraction? 

And don't tell me it's "just because" 

All work, no play 

Don't wanna go on this way 

I wanna go back to the way it was 

And it really shouldn't be this hard 

You know it really shouldn't be 

And if we can only take it this far 

Well then we've got to end it before it's too late 

The love that is left turns quickly to hate 

Cold hands, warm heart 

We just need some time apart 

And everything will be okay
