i will dote on you
as you break my leg in two
you smash me at my knees
and turn them into meat
they say that love is blind
so you poked out my eye
and i will bend your brain
until no neurons will remain
you say that it's a phase
but baby i'm afraid
i'm running out of blood
to satisfy your love
last night you bit my cheek
you cut me on my feet
the blood pools in your hands
this was never in my plans
you say that it's a phase
but baby i'm afraid
i'm running out of blood
to satisfy your love

my love, atlantis 2
01:53
|
|||
|
what am i to do,
without you
it's hard to breathe your air
i live in the sea
underneath you, my love
someday i will wash away
without you
maybe i might drift ashore
i live in the sea
underneath you, my love
underneath
careful when you breathe
and kick your feet
to come see me

atlantis, my love
02:45

your breath
tastes like someone
i used to know
and she was a ghost
we used to live there
when we were younger
i was crazy about her
until we were older
and our life
we lost at sea
we were so quiet
still in our teens
we used to swim there
under the water
the same waves that took us
will one day release her
your face
a beautiful sunrise
first thing in the morning
first thing that i'd see
but i was just dreaming
cuz she's in the ocean
where i hear her laughter
when i go under...

on a good day
02:00
|
|||
|
on a good day,
you're an island
on a good day,
you were mine once
on a good day,
i will find you.
every
thing
everyday
everything
is you.
on a good day,
we were frinds once
on a good day,
in a far place
on a good day,
i will follow
every
thing
everyday
everything
is you.

this love is heavy 2
02:28
|
|||
|
only you can - bring me to my knees
& only you can - put me at ease
this love is heavy, if you're not ready
this love will crush you, my baby blue
things aren't fair
and hearts will tear
in this affair
we share
only you can - break me at my knees
& only you can put me at ease
this love is torture, like an archer
shooting arrows where nothing gives way
things aren't fair
hearts will tear
in this affair
we share
|

a promise like that
02:47
|
|||
|
i fall asleep with your voice
inside my head
if you let your feelings stop
the heart goes into debt
a love like this seems like
it's harder to forget
whatever happens here
i'm glad that we had met
you can't make a promise like that
one day you may want to take it back
you can't make a promise like that
one day you may want to take it back
you fall asleep with my voice
inside your head
close your eyes my dear
and rest inside your bed
you can't make a promise like that
one day you may want to take it back..

snow
02:37
|
|||
|
what do we make of this?
just two people
just a kiss.
can we hide it
in the snow?
so no one will
ever know....
we find ourselves so deep
love is torture
love is hard to keep
can we hide it
in the snow?
so no one will ever know....
|

home, too
02:09
|
|||
|
there aren't too many places
where we can hide
so many people
eating up my time
there's a place i go to
and you can come there too...
it's called a heart
and it's our home
it's called a heart
and it's our home
there are so many reasons
that this will fail
so many people
with so much to say
there's a place i go to
and you are welcome too....
it's called a heart
and it's our home
it's called a heart
and it's our home...

for you, saturn
01:50
|
|||
|
for you,
i'd tear the world in two
for you,
i'll write your name in a tattoo
wrap your arms around my waist
so i can see your pretty face.
for you,
i'd rip the oceans from the moon
for you,
i'll take away your gloom
wrap your arms around my wasit
so i can see your pretty face
for you...
for you...

i made a boat for you
01:41
|
|||
|
i made a boat for you
i made it out of glue
i hope it floats
so we can float alone.
i made a plane for you
paper, made out of news
i hope it flies
just us in the sky.
i made a car for you
four wheels on a running shoe
it's better than a ride
if you're at my side
i will leave you a key
so that you can leave
you wanted to see my love
so i made a boat for you..

it's okay
02:05
|
|||
|
it's getting far too late
for us to make
amends
lay it out
on the table
just like friends
lay yourself down
beside me
try to find words
inside me to say
it's okay
that'll explain to you
how i feel
a heart isn't something
to steal
we get by
by the skin of our teeth
love ain't something
you leave
lay yourself down
beside me
try to find words
inside me to say
it's okay

certain earthquakes
02:27
|
|||
|
you bury yourself under my skin
and hide in my blood
you travel through my veins and work
your way into my heart
where we share a certain danger
that's not safe
so we share them while it's stranger, here.
i hear an earthquake inside my head
that rattles my brain
the rumble sounds like you when you laugh
and burns into my soul
where we share a certain danger
it's not safe
so we share them with a stranger, here.

pinocchio
02:47
|

|
i didn't want to pass up, this chance
it only comes by once in awhile
it doesn't stay for too long these days
the seasons end too soon, sweetheart
you have cracked my soul
a wooden heart, a rowboat
i didn't want to mess up, this one
our days are full of stardust, sunlight
a speckle on your rainbow, baby
the seasons end too soon, sweetheart
you have cracked my soul
a wooden heart, a rowboat
you have all i throw out
my heart burns to coal
|

in this town so small
i met you fumbling through
the breadcrumb aisle
"why don't you stay awhile?"
so nice to see you
so nice to see you smile.
i'll always see your face
in the breadcrumb aisle
the love you left in me
behind the havarti cheese
so nice to see you
so nice to see you smile.

parapluie
02:00
|
|||
|
she said she couldn't wait for me...
...and that's what i believe.
you are my sunbean,
my honeybee
you are my summer's day
my cherry tree.
feeling you warm me as i sleep
by my side and underneath.
you are my sunbeam
my honeybee
you are my summer's day
my strawberry
and if it rains,
parapluie.

pretty good bye
02:25
|
|||
|
she looked a lot like you
there was nothing i could do
she came from out of nowhere
and tried to carry my weight
we were almost there
a pretty good bye
almost there.
do you think that you might find me?
wandering through your world?
she'd sacrifice to help me
she made my life complete
we were almost there
a pretty good bye
almost there
it could have been enough
a pretty goodbye
almost there.

this love is heavy, too
02:30
|
|||
|
only you can - bring me to my knees
& only you can - put me at ease
this love is heavy, if you're not ready
this love will crush you, my baby blue
things aren't fair
hearts will tear
in this affair
we share
only you can - bring the sunshine
& only you can - bring me this rain
this love is torture, like an archer
shooting arrows where no one will find
things aren't fair
hearts will tear
in this affair
we share
|

we could build a fort
01:41
|
|||
|
i built a little house
around you,
around me.
nothing too fancy
just a place,
to sleep.
and we,
we built a fort
underneath a mattress
in the snow.
three walls
and a door
we'll share a sweater
if it gets cold
and we,
we built a fort
underneath a mattress
in the snow.

you are in my space
02:23
|
|||
|
what can i say
when the night turns to day
and what can you say
when i asked you to stay
it's so mundane
& we could just drift away
and that you are
in my space
autumn's blowing
colours changing today
overcast skies
wish the sunshine could lay
you beside me
and just drifting away
and that you are
in my space
and that you are
in my space

things
02:17
|
|||
|
i try to find the words to say
i try to find a place to stay
i try to make it through the day
i try to fight to get your way
am i just being in your way?
will we run out of things to say?

what am i to do,
without you?
it's hard to breathe your air.
i live in the sea

someday i'll wash away
without you
maybe you will find our love
i live in the sea
underneath you, my love
underneath.
careful when you breathe
and kick your feet
to come see me.
