You said it yourself that two Leos 
Make for a dangerous combination 
But still you chose to stay here pleased by the risk 
It could be explosive or perfect 

But at least we knew our limits 
And we know where our edges are 
Like we're sleeping on the top bunk 
And we'll save ourselves 
Before the fall 
Before the fall 

For two lovely loud Leos 
Quite a bit goes unsaid 
Except when we're in bed 
Like lions we play and we bite 
We always love 
And we sometimes fight 

But at least we knew our limits 
And we know where our edges are 
Like we're sleeping on the top bunk 
And we'll save ourselves 
Before the fall 
Before the fall 

You were smoking 
In that chair by the window 
Patty's voice was our only clothing 
I came to you 
And you held my head 
In your small hands 
Your small hands 

But where did our 
Id-governed days go 
With food, love, and more love? 
But the voices from the airshaft remind me 
Everyone looks good in candlelight 
They're right 

Borderlines and boundaries 
We spent four months building an unbreachable wall 
Then we managed to dissolve it 
In a mere moment of unwelcome strength 

But at least we knew our limits 
And we know where our edges are 
Like we're sleeping on the top bunk 
And we'll save ourselves 
Before the fall 
Before the fall
