There is love in your body but you can't hold it in. It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin. Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks. And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts.
Oh, the river, oh, the river, it's running free. & all joy, all the joy it brings to me. But I know it'll have to drown me. Before it can breathe easy.
She told me not to step on the cracks. I told her not to fuss and relax. Pretty little face stopped me in my tracks. But now she sleeps with one eye open.
Oh the river, oh the river, it's running free. And all joy, all the joy it brings to me. But I know it'll have to drown me. Before it can breathe easy.
I'm not calling you a liar, just don't lie to me*. I'm not calling you a thief, just don't steal from me. I'm not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me.
She told me not to step on the cracks. I told her not to fuss and relax. Pretty little face stopped me in my tracks. But now she sleeps with one eye open.
There's a drumming noise inside my head. That starts when you're around. I swear that you could hear it. It makes such an almighty sound. . There's a drumming noise inside my head.
I've fallen out of favor and I've fallen from grace. Fallen out trees and I've fallen on my face. Fallen out of taxis out of windows too. Fell in your opinion when I fell in love with you.
Happiness hit her like a train on a track. Coming towards her stuck still no turning back. . She hid it 'round corners and she hid it under beds. She killed it with kisses and from it she fled.
There's a drumming noise inside my head. That starts when you're around. I swear that you could hear it. It makes such an all mighty sound. . There's a drumming noise inside my head.
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes. I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind. . The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out.
I'm drifting through the halls with the sunrise. (Holding on for your call). Climbing up the walls for that flashing light. (I can never let go). Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine.
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do. To try and keep from calling you. Well, can my dreams keep coming true. How can they, cause when I sleep. I never dream of you.
I tried to control my shaking. With just one sound. I tried to warm the ocean. By writing it down. I tried to tame my nightmare. Line by line. If I write a song about you.
Ohhh (oh, oh, oh, oh). Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Ohhh (oh, oh, oh, oh). Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. . I was looking for a breath of life. For a little touch of heavenly light.
Oh, you built a man made out of bricks. and lived inside his chest.. I beat my head against the wall. to make a heart beat in his breast.. . Oh, I smashed my fist against his ribs.
All alone. It was always there you see. & even on my own. It was always standing next to me. . I can see it coming from the edge of the room. Creeping in the streetlight.
Ohhh (oh, oh, oh, oh). Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Ohhh (oh, oh, oh, oh). Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. . I was looking for a breath of life. For a little touch of heavenly light.
Seems that I have been held in some dreaming state. A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake. No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber.
Well, I didn't tell anyone. But a bird flew by, saw what I done. He set up a nest outside. And he sang about what I'd become. He sang so loud. Sang so clear.
