I'm retarded because of you

How many things have you forgotten from me
How many dreams have died
because you despised me

I can laugh harder if you want me to
'cause that is how beautiful
I feel when I'm with you

I heard the thunder and grabbed at my heart
The sun was shining like nothing else mattered

(I saw an angel on a ray of sunlight)

I don't know why I thought I
could wake you
by whispering your name


Love is my most painful cry
I've strained my voice, addicted to your smile
Love is my excuse for all my craziness
I'm retarded because of you


Broken finds her sympathy
I showed her my hands just when it started to rain

but she kissed my fingers anyway
and I wet my pants right there
I was dying
(and it felt incredible)

I heard the thunder and grabbed at my heart
The sun was shining like nothing else mattered

and if the rainbow has a problem with me
I'll find heaven in the smell of your toes
stained with me

There are crushed flowers where we have been
and I have thrown away the bible
'cause I was listening
and its all within

your reaching out to me will be my
reason that I love to dance with you
