Fallen from the nest,
I land into your arms
Fallen from the bed
When you don't want me anymore
You promise, you swear,
You make the vow, sometimes,
But always more unsure
When the ring slips from your finger
I stay at the edge of you
You stay on the fringe of me
When we get closer, we hurt each other,
We softly1 tear one another apart
It tastes like a story, but
It's a lot more than that
When we give ourselves over, we surrender
We softly draw one another
We softly draw one another
Diving, together,
Wrapped around in the covers
Everything gets mixed up
Cloud number nine2 and the thunderstorm
I promise, I swear,
I make the vow, sometimes,
But always more unsure
When the ring burns my finger
I stay at the edge of you
You stay on the fringe of me
When we get closer, we hurt each other,
We softly tear one another apart
It tastes like a story, but
It's a lot more than that
When we give ourselves over, we surrender
We softly draw one another
I stay at the edge of you
You stay on the fringe of me
When we get closer, we hurt each other,
We softly tear one another apart
It tastes like a story, but
It's a lot more than that
When we give ourselves over, we surrender
We softly draw one another...
We softly draw one another
We tear one another apart
