Wrestle a Dove

from Vol. 1: Cutting Crutches by Et Al.

lyrics

I broke a heart just to get to yours. I did my part now you do yours; and it's sad: it never works so good.
I held you close and you held me. Now I'm in love, but you can't be cause you're smart. You can hide your heart

You can't wrestle a dove. You can't force a love. I don't know why, but you can't wrestle a dove.

I wasn't out looking for a friend, but I won't try to change the end, cause I know it's meant to be this way.
And maybe someday this will grow. Petals unfold, and it's true love, if there is such a thing.
Until that day I'm stuck on you, but hopefully not like gum on your shoe, but, hey, at least I'd be touching you.

You can't wrestle a dove. You can't force a love. I don't know why, but you can't wrestle a dove.

You know you changed me love. You know you changed me love. I don't know how I forgot it before, but you changed me love.
