Blue and you lean on me
You know that your crushing me
You're soaking and i cannot breathe
You're seeding the clouds
You're building a web cross the night
An unusual night meant for me
Collecting dead rainbows from puddles and mires
Taking them home to warm by the fire
This flower's in bloom
It'll never expire
It's just coming round again
I'm tearing my heart from the seams
I keep tearing my heart on the seams
But i'll keep pushing ya cause i know just where you're going
Yeah i'll be pushing ya till it's to far to get back home
Won't put my soul on strike
Cuz at the speed of light
I can do what i like
Blue and you lean on me
You know that your crushing me
You're soaking but still i can breathe
You're seeding the clouds
You're building a web cross the night
Saved by unusual daydreaming ways
I'm tearing my...
Yeah, i'll keep loving like it's all i've ever known
Yeah, i'll be givin ya till it's too far to get back home
I'll put my heart on strike
Cuz at the speed of light i can be out of sight
Yeah, i'll be lovin ya like it's all i've ever known
Yeah i'll be lovin ya till it's to far to get back home
Won't put my soul on strike
Cuz at the speed of light i can do what i like
