lyrics

You, you took my world by storm, and you made my icy heart feel warm. You made me feel warm. Of a million hopeless cases, I was number one. In a sea of nameless faces, yours was the face of the sun. And I don’t know why, you chose to shine in my sky.

You, you stop the world with one arched brow. And you collapse the past and future now. You make it all now. Okay, I was looking, but I didn’t think I’d find. So okay, I was asking, but I was flying blind. Then to my surprise, you bent and spit in my eyes.

And nothing good can last, never will and never has. I’m just used to being sad. I wouldn’t know hope if it slugged me. I wouldn’t know love if it hugged me. I wouldn’t know you if you passed by fast. But the arc of the sun is slow, drying water, melting snow. Watch how the flowers face whever you go.

Now that the rush has come how do I find a way to be true? Balancing well for now, how do I keep from falling, falling?

Yes, I know this well. I’ll do this dance in heaven like I’ve done this dance in hell. And I pray for eyes that belie the way I feel, and this hurt to heal, and this love until I die.

Now that I’ve braved the fire how do I keep on burning, burning? Nevertheless, I’ll try. I will be white and glowing embers.

Yes, like Adam I fell, so I got no head for numbers and I got no soul to sell. And I pray to these starry eyes to witness here this veil of tears ’til I too soon say goodbye.

Now that I know the song, how do I keep it fast to my tongue? Try to beware of the change that unbeknownst may yet distract me.

Yes, I know this well...

You, you make iron out of rust. And you, you made this man out of dust. You turned nothing into something grand.

I don’t care where we’re going, I just want to go. Inside there are oceans, I don’t even know. Kiss me once for pleasant travel. Kiss me twice and you’ll unravel my heart.
