lyrics
First time around and the sky explodes.
First time around and your eyes are closed.
Lost in the crowd, dreaming of home.
You hear a sound, a noise your blushing ears resist…
Next time around and you steal the flame.
Next time around and you feel the same
just lying down, sleeping alone.
You hear a sound, a voice you’re trusting
only if it’s not allowed/aloud…
Last time around you open your eyes.
Last time around comes as no surprise.
You heart’s clock a bomb that slowly explodes.
You fear the sound, ticks you’ll never disarm…
Your premonition’s afterthought
warns us too late of what we’ve lost.
Our lives are cliffs we clutch,
afraid to let go…
And you say
the only way down
is to fall in love…
First time around and your eyes are closed.
Lost in the crowd, dreaming of home.
You hear a sound, a noise your blushing ears resist…
Next time around and you steal the flame.
Next time around and you feel the same
just lying down, sleeping alone.
You hear a sound, a voice you’re trusting
only if it’s not allowed/aloud…
Last time around you open your eyes.
Last time around comes as no surprise.
You heart’s clock a bomb that slowly explodes.
You fear the sound, ticks you’ll never disarm…
Your premonition’s afterthought
warns us too late of what we’ve lost.
Our lives are cliffs we clutch,
afraid to let go…
And you say
the only way down
is to fall in love…
