For you have a way of promising things And I've been a forest fire I am a forest fire

But you know, oh you know in the quiet he holds Runs a river that will never find home

Silly me, waiting

I need something bigger than the sky Hold it in my arms and know it's mine Just how many stars will I need to hang around me To finally call it heaven?

At night On the roof top I untie my hair And watch from my plastic chair As my dark hair Unleashes the night

Mercy on me, would you please spare me tonight? I'm tired of this searching, would you let me let go?

Well I told him I'd do anything to have him stay with me So he laid me down, and I felt Happy come inside of me

And carry me out Carry me out

That's our lamp It shines like a big moon We may be ending

So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside I would find It’s for you won’t be mine

Don't think about the past, always there anyway And I will never die, I will never die

I'm what's left of when we Swam under the moon

And it ate me inside, so one soft drunken night I slept with a man you knew

Real men don't need other people, and Real men suck it in

I'm pulsing, my blood is red and unafraid of living Beginning to end

And I don't mean to make your heart blue But could we be what we're meant to be?

Of course you couldn't know It was you and you alone

Little boys cry and look around for comfort And always get what they want

Darling, play your violin We will manage somehow

I thought I'd traveled a long way But I had circled The same old sin
