Steve Christensen - Elephant lyrics

[Verse 1] There is an elephant in the room And we both know We're gonna have to talk about it soon But we made space for him in the coroner there And we go on and act as if there isn't anybody there We built this home, just you and I And then we lock the door And hope nobody else comes by [Verse 2] The way I was raised It claws and tugs at me Sometimes I'm blinded by emotions And I can't see When we fell in love you belonged to no one But why would I chain or shackle you to my jealousy? The human heart it's large beyond compare Only a fool would be so cruel as not to share I wanna see her shining bright Not locked up in some dark cage in the dead of night [Pre-Chrous] Why can't I tell you The way I really feel? Like my dishonesty and my ego made a deal That when we desire the touch of someone else We just conspire to keep those feelings to ourself [Chorus] Why can't the rules be less defined? How can you call it out when you're sticking to a dotted line? My heart, it's torn in two One half's on the road and the other remains with you One half's on the road and the other remains with you [Bridge] I do not grasp And I do not own This life is changing And impermanent, so long We can adapt Or maybe we could divorce We could jump ship Or we could easily change course [Chorus] Why can't the rules be less defined? How can you call it out when you're sticking to a dotted line? My heart, it's torn in two One half's on the road and the other remains with you One half's on the road and the other remains with you
