He loses himself in the boxscores
She can`t decide what to wear
There will be no realization today
And she`ll carry out her affair
She dreams frequent and vividly
He has no dreams at all
She describes them to him every mornin`
As he complains about the mileage of his car
They have no children to speak of
And don`t own their colonial home
The color tv lulls one of them to sleep
While the other changes stations alone
Hand in hand i lost her hand and cried the tears
Lovers understand
They could not afford a real honeymoon
So they strolled hand in hand in the square
She does the same with the guy at the office
He likes the color of her hair
He`s quiet and tired a lot lately
He sets goals and doesn`t follow through
He stares at her picture on the fireplace
And whispers a prayer to the room
`there are no mistakes,` he says, shrugging off,
`we just did what we had to do
I don`t think that i could get angry again
At least not like i did in my youth
Hand in hand i lost her hand and cried the tears
Lovers understand.`
