I thought it was too late / I thought you disappeared / It's been a while since I believed in you / I used to have the strength / I used to just walk away / But now that I see you / It's not enough, it's not enough / I don't want to be saved / I want to go down with you / Together we can find a way to come back
I couldn't love a man so purely / Even prophets forgive his crooked way / I've learned love is like a brick, you can / Build a house or sink a dead body
Destroy everything you touch today / Destroy me this way / Anything that may desert you / So it cannot hurt you / You only have to look behind you / At who's undermined you / Destroy everything you touch today / Destroy me this way
Music can be such a revelation / Dancin' around you feel the sweet sensation / We might be lovers if the rhythm's right / I hope this feeling never ends tonight / Only when I'm dancin' can I feel this free / At night I lock the door where no one else can see / I'm tired of dancin' here all by myself / Tonight I wanna dance with someone else
Last night I realized / Like picking up the petals of a dead flower / Its bloom is gone, it cannot be restored / Each petal is a little death in my palm / Our time has frozen in place / I still remember that day we met / When I first saw your sweetly smiling face / But I thrust away the past and receive once more my share of the wounds we dealt / Our hearts are full of thorns
And missionaries dismiss me for my single epiphany / The diff between him and me is a simple sip of British tea! / So when times are hard and life is rough / You can stick the kettle on and find me a cup
Conversation has a time and place / In the interaction of a lover and a mate / But the time of talking / Using symbols, using words / Can be likened to a deep sea diver / Who is swimming with a raincoat / Come stand a little bit closer / Breathe in and get a bit higher / You'll never know what hit you / When I get to you
Takes more than combat gear to make a man / Takes more than a license for a gun / Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can / A gentleman will walk but never run / If "manners maketh man" as someone said / Then he's the hero of the day / It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile / Be yourself no matter what they say
Then I went off to fight some battle / That I had invented inside my head / Away so long for years and years / You probably thought or even wished that I was dead / While the armies are all sleeping / Beneath the tattered flag we'd made / Had to stop in my tracks for fear / Of walking on the mines we'd laid / And if I built this fortress around your heart / Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire / Then let me build a bridge / For I cannot fill the chasm / Let me set the battlements on fire
Tell me what to do / So I do nothing wrong / Something I can hope for / Something real that I can see / So nothing falls apart / So this does not end / I cannot return / I can't start again
