Nights are cold and crazy
Knowing you will not come
Dear stranger - where are you tonight
If I wasn't me
I'd take you on my knees
I'd free you: and I'd be a child no more
But no one told me how
They knew it all along
They knew so easily
What I just could not see
What'll we do when the sun goes down
And we run to the sea and fall to the ground
And I look at you
You look at me
And there's nothing there to see
'Cept shades of what we used to be
Mirrors cannot see
What's breaking down in me
These shadows - I'm not afraid no more
Touch me
You will find I've held you
Down inside
Dear lover, please don't run no more
But if you can't keep me down
Maybe I'm the one you found
When you listen to me breathe
You see inside of me
What'll we do when the sun goes down
And we run to the sea and fall to the ground
And I look at you
You look at me
And there's nothing there to see
'Cept shades of what we used to be
When storms tore me apart
You told me:
See through your heart
Listen
These words they bleed from you
And I'll never know just how
You knew it all along
You knew so easily
The me I could not be
What'll we do when the sun goes down
And we run to the sea and fall to the ground
And I look at you
You look at me
And there's nothing there to see
'Cept shades of what we used to be
