lyrics

ICE PICK (from Is Heaven Real)

I fell in love – at the age of eleven
Could have died – before my twelfth birthday
Cause I’d already been to heaven

I can’t look at her picture
I can’t breathe her name
It’s like sticking an ice pick
Into my brain

Well, I was drinking a coke – at the local drugstore
The scales fell from my eyes – My heart cried out for more

Chorus

So what, we were young – Does that make it less real
I can’t forget – the way she made me feel
She’s a memory – a memory that’s gone
“I Only Have Eyes For You” – was our favorite song

On my twelfth birthday – it all came to an end
I was no longer eleven – I was no longer ten

Chorus

So what we were young – I know that it was real
I’ll never ever feel again – what she made me feel
We’ll meet again – before too long
“I Only Have Eyes For You” – was our favorite song
