lyrics

Porcelain jar, antique white
Glossy finish with a pattern stripe
Finely crafted, smooth and grand
Slow and steady when it’s in your hands

Time goes by and with it style
Dust the lid once in a while
Used to be the centerpiece
Now it’s a casualty of your stumblin’ feet

You knocked it off the tableside
One hundred pieces scattering
It may have only been one time
But nothing is the same again
Porcelain

Place and fit with super glue
Pretend the cracks look good as new
But months will leave and years will go
Those cracks are always going to show

You knocked it off the tableside
One hundred pieces scattering
It may have only been one time
But nothing is the same again
Porcelain

Time stands still for a moment
As we watch it all plunge
We could pick up the pieces
But the damage is done
So I swept it underneath the rug

You knocked it off the tableside
One hundred pieces scattering
It may have only been one time
But nothing is the same again
Porcelain
