I'm a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place
|
You've launched a secret heart with your face
|
You don't always say what I want to hear but you move me
|
Across the rooftops and into the deep blue sea
|
|
Did we not choose each other
|
Are we just heroes for a day
|
This time I will stand by you
|
And mine is the heart I will save
|
|
I drew a hard line but I just can't see it
|
Your colours are bleeding all over my bullshit
|
I wanna be your star but I gotta learn to feel myself
|
I want your love and I need your help
|
|
Did we not choose each other
|
Are we just heroes for a day
|
This time I will stand by you
|
And mine is the heart I will save
|
Can we not judge each other
|
I'd rather wipe your tears away
|
I can follow my heart till the end
|
But I just can't choose the way
|
|
Just because we live like dolphins together
|
So many reasons to break the wave
|
We can swim from streetlamp to streetlamp
|
We can be kissing in the rain
|
|
Can we not judge each other
|
I'd rather wipe your tears away
|
I can follow my heart till the end
|
But I just can't choose the way
|
|
Listen baby, listen baby don't you do me wrong
|
I can make my bed, you can sing your song
|
Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine
|
If it's the truth you seek then darlin' love you'll find
|
I don't wanna, I don't wanna take your pain away
|
Isn't yours to give, isn't mine to save
|
Here's my heart, here's my hand, here's my soul
|
Take it in, take it apart, take it easy, let it go
|
(repeat three times)
