One More Thing Than I Can Handle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Between the look and the look away I saw paragraph on paragraph of wanting Written in the space around your eyes And the corners of your smile [Verse 2] Between the look and the look away I heard louder than the bells of a cathedral Everything you wish that you could ask If we only were alone If we only could be sure that your wife would never know [Chorus] But that's one more thing than I can handle One more cross than I can bear God, you're beautiful God, it would be easy to say yes But that's one more thing than I can handle It's one more way I mustn't care Take me like a photograph Put me in a drawer beside your fantasies And leave me there Leave me there [Verse 3] Between the look and the look returned I made hundreds of frenetic calculations Measuring the distance to my dream The light inside the bar The force beneath your arms What I'd say if we got caught [Chorus] But that's one more thing than I can handle It's more choice that isn't fair God, you're beautiful God, it would be nice to aquiesce If only, if only it weren't one more thing than I can handle It's one more never answered prayer Close me like a bank account Drop me at the bottom of your memories And leave me there [Bridge] Leave me empty, leave me dry Leave me hanging on a branch to rot You might be strong enough, you might be strong enough But I'm not I'm not [Chorus] It's just one more thing than I can handle One more cross than I can bear God, you're beautiful God, it would be easy to say If only, if only, if only If only it weren't one more thing than I can handle One more castle in the air Hide me like an accident, watch me walk away Light me in the window of your couldhavebeens And leave me there Leave me there [Outro] You're just one more thing You're just one more thing Just one more thing than I can handle One more thing, one more thing One more thing than I can handle
