"Toys" lyrics

"Toys"

I've lost an eye, you've lost your shoes
Wide open seams, nothing to do
No stitch will fix us, no thread will do
I still recall when we were new

And I took your price tag and crossed it over with my name
So if you got lost you would be returned to me

We've worn out our hearts like toys
Our batteries out, white noise
Our love was all over and right out of nowhere
The playground got smaller, we grew up not closer
We had so much fun, didn't notice
We got older
We got older

Our hourglass ran out of sand
And so we had a change of plans
New kind of frame, new photographs
But we're okay 'cause we had a blast

And I took your price tag and crossed it over with my name
So if you got lost you would be returned to me

We've worn out our hearts like toys
Our batteries out, white noise
Our love was all over and right out of nowhere
The playground got smaller, we grew up not closer
We had so much fun, didn't notice
We got older
We got older

Our plastics got broken and we've been replaced
But we've built up something that will always remain
Stay unchanged, come what may, ooh

We've worn out our hearts like toys
Our batteries out, white noise
Our love was all over and right out of nowhere
The playground got smaller, we grew up not closer
We had so much fun, didn't notice
We got older
