Penguins

I met her smoking a cigarette in a toilet cubicle

Red dress, tattooed chest, she's beautiful

This ain't the type of place to start a future, but darling I don't care

Broken hearts can find a love to make them whole anywhere

Well, darling, here we go again

We are only man and woman and we all make mistakes

"Don't you know we're only human?" is what I heard you say

When I heard those words, I knew them, oh, I could feel your pain

'Cause I have felt the same, no

Oh, she said, "We are penguins on the ice

We're not meant to fly, but God knows we can try"

And I see a hope that's in her eyes

Oh, can you see the love in mine?

She told me about her mom and dad and they sound just like mine

Day by day, exchanging names, and two souls intertwined

And we have both got it wrong from time to time but let that go

We'll lead each other hand-in-hand, as we mend our broken souls

Oh, darling, here we go again

Oh, we are only blood and bones that cover beating hearts

Scarred by sticks and stones, but we know who we are

And I could put you back together when you come apart

And we should make a start now, oh

Well, she said, "We are penguins on the ice

We're not meant to fly, but God knows we can try"

And I see a hope that's in her eyes

Oh, can you see the love in mine?

Can you see the love in mine?

And it feels like we've found serenity

And some things are not what they seem, my love

Right now it's only you and me

Oh, she said, "We are penguins on the ice

We're not meant to fly, but God knows we can try"

And I see a hope that's in her eyes

Well, can you see the love in mine?

Oh, she said, "We are penguins on the ice

We're not meant to fly, but God knows we can try"

Oh, I see a hope that's in her eyes

Oh, can you see the love in mine?

Oh, can you see the love in mine?

Oh, can you see the love in mine?
