We played games in the park
Well, stay there
I'll stay in the dark
And you said: Oh, I can feel your heart beat
And I told you: Sometimes when I stay the night,
I find it hard, hard to sleep
Oh, we played
Yeah, like lovers in the moonlight
We stay here
Stubborn in the softness and the light
Oh, how close to heaven can you get before the sun burns your eyes?
Oh, oh, baby
You were like a child when you wept
Oh, through soul sting lullabies
How close to heaven can you get before the sun burns your eyes?
You were like a child when you wept
Oh, through soul sting lullabies
Oh we played games with the distance
Made phone calls, phone calls just to listen
We held, oh, mornings from the start
You said: Baby, maybe, maybe I never want to make you heartless
Funny how words get lost in the dark
For when the morning comes
The dew drowns out the spark
Oh, how close to heaven can you get before the sun burns your eyes?
Oh, oh, baby
You were like a child when you wept
Oh, through soul sting lullabies
How close to heaven can you get before the sun burns your eyes?
You were like a child when you wept
Oh, through soul sting lullabies
And you're under the same set of stars
We lay there, worlds apart
And you still say: I can feel your heart beat
And I still find it hard in the middle of the night, oh, trying to sleep
Oh come
Find me when the years get older, find me when the world
Lights solder to our fire, oh, oh, no
Find me when the years get older, find me when the world
Lights solder to our fire
Oh, whoa, oh whoa, solder
To our fire
