Blue Flame

I've got some walls around me, too

But they're not much compared to your house

Fifty feet high, with barbed wire

Guards on the top, aiming rifles at your lovers one by one

And friends, too

I've come with hands above my head

I'm damned if I'll try to break your door down

If you ever come out just call me

I'll still be armed with the memory of one evening when you smiled

At something

Sadness spreads like a black stain

But I know by now that's not all there is

There's a blue flame inside of you so beautiful and rare

And love's not something you decide to do

You'd be so hard to love if love was not just there

You tell me women get you down

And as for men, they're all bastards

I wonder what world you call home

And I wish I could learn their language just enough to make you laugh

Just one time

Yes, it was nice to see you, too

Although I'm never sure you mean it

I pick up the tab and you won't thank me

Not that I mind, but in my dreams it's all so different - we even kiss

Imagine this

Bitterness is a black hole

But you know by now you got more to give

There's a blue flame inside of you so beautiful and rare

And love's not something you decide to do

You'd be so hard to love if love was not just there

Impossible to love if love was not for some strange reason there
