I was taken by your elegance
Your unforgiving words
Your smiling without arrogance
With nothing but your love for the world
I think I want everything you've got
I almost can't believe my jealous heart
So come and lie awake with me
Beneath my dying sky
Watch the wonders dancing
And I'll listen to them cry at what they learn
You can't get out alive with all that dirt
Optimist the child, the overturned
Everybody loves loves like a wind to a flame
But it will never know what you need
The answers lie far from you and me
But everyone gets lost when they're set free
The years have carried over now
Our conversation's died
The cracks on the foundations
Yeah they almost feel like lies, they're overworked
I think you're doing fine that's what I heard
I think you're doing fine that's what I heard
And I know it sounds dramatic but, oh, nothing's really changed
It all still looks the same to me
And this feeling I can't shake, it fills my heart
Everything around me still seems dark
Miscolours in the flickers in the stars
Everybody stands like a flame against the snow
Flickering so faintly in the cold
No one seems to know quite where to go
It seems pretty clear to me, we're on our own
I always seem to talk like the whole world's to blame
I guess we end up pointing either way
Oh I'm not even sure of where to start
I guess I'll never mend my jealous heart
My heart
Oh no I won't
My heart
My heart
Oh no I won't
I always seem to walk like the whole world's in my way
Standing like an actor in the rain
Oh I'm not even sure of where to start
I guess I'll never mend my jealous heart
