Went from cities to touch the suburbs
|
On the highway, but I'm barefoot
|
I need a map but not the destination
|
Need a compass but not a conversation
|
|
I want to run far from this grey town
|
You're on every street, marked on the ground
|
Not the meant and not the paint
|
Want the price but not the raise
|
|
I want the jump but not the height
|
Let me fall but catch me mid flight
|
I swam with sharks and beasts of the sea
|
Only went down for the company
|
Went down for the company
|
|
I forgot to mention:
|
That you would come back home when I call
|
Left no sign, nothing at all
|
Sorry you won't fit inside my heart
|
I wanted love without the build up
|
|
I need the rules but not the regulations
|
Want the wisdom but not the information
|
Need the light but not the heat of the day
|
Need your hands to show me how to pray
|
|
I lost the plot underneath the fire
|
Of all the dots and lines that took me higher
|
Away from traffic and smiles of tire
|
I like the nights but not the tangled wires
|
|
Need the pulse to feel alive
|
All the world's just made it seem all quiet
|
This has all become far too loud
|
I like you more when you don't make a sound
|
|
You will come back home when I call
|
Left no sign, nothing at all
|
Sorry you won't fit inside my heart
|
Won't you come light the way and wash this away
|
|
I wanted love without the build up
|
