Somebody broke me once, love was a currency
A shimmering balance act, I think that I laughed at that
And I saw your face and hands, colored in sun and then
I think I understand, will I understand?
* Will we fight, stay up late, in my dreams I'm to blame
Different sides of the bed, roll your eyes, shake my head
Now we're stuck in the storm, we were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just sit
** (I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money
I slept on my own those nights, was still in my parent's house
And I cut off my t-shirt sleeves and claim a new continent
'Til I saw your face and hands covered in sun and then I think I understand, will I understand?
( * , ** )
When you're looking at your shadow, standing on the edge of yourself
Praying on the darkness, just don't take the money
Dreaming of an easy, waking up without weight now
And you're looking at the heartless, just don't take the money
You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money
(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it
I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets
Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money, don't take the money
Just don't take the money Just don't take the money
Just don't take the money Just don't take the money
Just don't take the money
