If a lover wants to stay you know she can't be made to runYou can doctor people's claims with secret ink and carbon gunsThere ain't nowhere I can hide where I won't be afraid of youAs unlikely as it sounds you know I'm still in love with youWell I'm left rubbing twigs in search of a flame for fireWhilst you like Icarus soar higherThis time I ain't coming back childYou took me once that's enough blackmail nowSweet love should never turn sour like thisLine me up in your sights and you shoot to kissIf I could only hear your voice I could put m y jealous heart to restBut you rule over an isle where the crackling wire don't stretchWith my tail between my legs I bring oddities from far afieldI've sailed the doldrums, suffered lice and sunburn and sargasso weedsWell I'm left rubbing twigs in search of a flame for fireWhilst you like Icarus soar higherThe boiling sun will melt the wax that holds your wingsAnd lover's sheets can't break your fallIt's gonna be alright childIt was a risk, we knew it all alongOne mistake you'd play, I'd sing alongIt's a mistake, we knew it all alongI can play but you can't sing along From Letras Mania
