Oh dear, what can I say?
I'm high here, up and spinning away
From a kiss of a thrill to be filled
Can someone hear me?

Love, what do you say?
Your mystery winds me up to be playful
Oh, here goes my curious sinner within
Is someone listening? I hope no one is listening

How do I slow down?
I can't relate to my heart now
I've thrown what I've known
Is enough for me out
I'm running on empty

If you were a river
In the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water
Would be my call
If you were the winter,
I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me
When the cold winds blow

All I want is you,
Will you be my bride?
Take me by the hand
And stand by my side
All I want is you,
Will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms
And sway me like the sea

I want to reconcile
The violence in your heart
I want to recognise
Your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise
The demons from your past
I want to satisfy
The undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

You trick your lovers
That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

Nothing goes as planned
Everything will break
People say goodbye
In their own special way
All that you rely on
And all that you can fake
Will leave you in the morning
But find you in the day

Oh, you're in my veins
And I cannot get you out
Oh, you're all I taste
At night inside of my mouth
Oh, you run away
'Cause I am not what you found
Oh, you're in my veins
And I cannot get you out

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes,
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me,
And just forget the world?

Fight fires in your best clothes,
Touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder with the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wander to the next town
Force quit on your losing streak
Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we're still too young,
That we're still too young and I'll hold my tongue

Until you see me in your dreams
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I'll always take
The only branch I'll never break
Those fears, we'll blow them all away

If we were children,
I would bake you a mud pie
Warm and brown beneath the sun
Never learned to climb a tree but I would try
Just to show you what I'd done

So lace your hands round the small of my back
And I will kiss you like a king
I will be your bride,
I'll keep you warm at night
I will sing, I will sing

It was now and we were both in the same
Place, didn't know how to say the words
With my heart ticking like
A bomb in a birdcage
I left before someone got hurt

'Cause it was what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe, I had you
It was what I wouldn't do
When I had you, babe, when I had you

When you're lonely and sad
If you think of the times we had
Just the thought
Will bring you back to me
Seen you staring into space
Shadows falling across your face
But it won't take long to get to you
Whatever you do

And if your heart should melt away
No matter, I'll find you anyway
Until you look and find a love who doubles
As someone who'll understand your troubles

Was it always there, or contracted?
Was it just the thought to which I was attracted?

The body speaks in chemicals,
A song and dance not visible
But I've been told, "Don't go looking,
'Cause the tune was tuned to find you"

Distance drowns the signal
And the call of constellations
I'm picking up the language that we lost

Static in the air, no reception
Was it just a bad antenna or your perception
Of the silence that surrounds you?
Your ears will move to find it
Don't go looking,
My heart was tuned to find you

Every song ever written has a final note
And I sign my name below
Every letter that I wrote
And lovers who part give a final kiss
Now I know it's not the player
But the music that I miss

He plays piano in a jazz band
And I love him for the man that he could be
I asked him, "If I let you, would you play me?"
A song that will play forever on

Oh, but I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes
And I still dream in color
Even though I sing the blues
And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song
Where the music fades away
Before the love, it can go wrong

If I could only find a note
To make you understand,
I'd sing it softly in your ear
And grab you by the hand
Just keep it stuck inside your head,
Like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo
That only plays for you

My heart's a stereo,
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio,
And turn me up when you feel low,
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs,
And prayers and proclamations
In the grand days of great men
And the smallest of gestures
And short shallow gasps

But with all my education,
I can't seem to command it
And the words are all escaping,
And coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry
If I only knew how
I can't seem to understand it

And it talks to me in tiptoes
And it sings to me inside
It cries out in the darkest night
And breaks in the morning light

And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all

You are my everything
My head and my heart, my mind, my wing
I couldn't give all again
I'm never sure of anything with you

The jokes, the laughs, the teardrops too
The games, the fun, the travels too
Yes, I'll go through it all with you
All good things now come from you

I hope you feel the way I do
I hope you give yourself up too
I'm damned to feel the way I do
What have I done to fall so hard for you?

Yeah, but baby, there you go again,
There you go again, making me love you
Yeah, I stopped using my head,
using my head, let it all go
Got you stuck on my body,
On my body, like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid,
Crawling back to you

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Try to tell you "no"
But my body keeps on telling you "yes"
Try to tell you to "stop,"
But your lipstick got me so out of breath
I'll be waking up in the morning,
Probably hating myself
And I'll be waking up,
Feeling satisfied but guilty as hell
