The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love
Chorus;
I値l be your crying shoulder
I値l be love suicide
I値l be better when I知 older
I値l be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You池e my survival, you池e my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I値l be captivated, I値l hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
Chorus
I致e dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing you said
Chorus
