All around your island, There's a barricade
keeps out the danger, holds in the pain
Generous, to a fault
that is a phrase I heard from a friend of a friend
describing Janine
She meant it as a compliment, I'm sure
not trying to be ironic about her nature:
overly patient with strangers,
reclusive and distant with friends
the hours and money she spent with people she hardly knew
the phone calls and parties she ignored from friends
At arm's reach - I used to think
but looking back now
it wasn't even that close
You got a heart so big, it could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
