I can’t sleep while you’re watching me
I can’t breathe while you’re holding my nose
If you want me to be then you’ll have to let go.
I’m falling asleep in your celadon dreams
As I’m holding your hand in the passenger seat
You look my way, say my name
Connecticut ain’t going anywhere
But these fragile feelings will
So honey, what’s the hurry?
I’m sweating this August into my old dress
As we rearrange figures we’d like
Avoid all the stress, make a mess.
But the morning will come and the tides due to rise
And I’m wondering how far we should go
If we only had some kind of boat, we would be fine.
But I know we both know how this mad thing will end,
We’ll pack up our bags and I’ll wish you were dead,
So stay honey, what’s the hurry?
Remember you said that stagnation is death?
But we’re holding on tight to this last dying breath.
If it’s coming, what’s the hurry?
Connecticut ain’t going anywhere
But these fragile feelings will
So honey, what’s the hurry?
Connecticut ain’t going anywhere
But these fragile feelings will
So honey, what’s the hurry?
