Verse

There once was a guy

You couldn’t look in the eye

His heart was made of pure stone

Then I came along

And I stepped on his toe

Oh, it was almost the end of the world

He looked right at me

And before I could think

I sneezed when I smelled his cologne

Chorus

That’s how it started

The love he called arson

Too bad I set fire

To his icy heart

And he can’t confront it

The feelings I ignited

That’s when I knew…

…It’d be forever, ‘till we part

Verse

Now this poker-faced guy

Swore he’d never lie

But that all went out the window

When I made him feel flustered

He just couldn’t muster

The prospect of letting me go

Yet he was too proud

To say it aloud

And that’s when I said, “I know…”

Chorus

Now that it’s started

The rivers have parted

And I’ve called for the ships

To sail to his heart

He just won’t confront it

The feelings ignited

For God’s sake how dense

Can one person be?

Bridge

Well I sat him down

And I’m surely no clown

But I told it to him, straight

“Denial my friend,

Is a river in Egypt”

But you just can’t quite see it…

You just won’t see it…

Verse

Now that we’re married

What do you carry

Inside that heart of yours?

I see right through it

You understand it

That’s because… surely, you know

Our kids look at us

And wonder what love is

And that’s when we tell them so

Chorus

That’s how it started

The love he called arson

Too bad I set fire

To his icy heart

And he can’t confront it

The feelings I ignited

That’s when I knew…

…It’d be forever, ‘till we part
