back to sleeping with Damien Rice...
We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching we might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate
Don't throw yourself like that in front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we always seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf too many books
Read me your favourite line
Nothing unusual, nothing's changed
Just a little older that's all
You know when you've found it,
There's something I've learned
'Cause you feel it when they take it away
What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The one you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?
Oh what am I? What am I darlin'?
I got years to wait...
Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
'Cause mine stopped working
Rain it wets muddy roads
I find myself exposed
Tapping doors, but irritate
In search of destination
When nobody's watching we might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate
Don't throw yourself like that in front of me
I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we always seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf too many books
Read me your favourite line
Nothing unusual, nothing's changed
Just a little older that's all
You know when you've found it,

Rain it wets muddy roads
I find myself exposed
Tapping doors, but irritate
In search of destination
