Im a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place
Youve launched a secret heart with your face
You dont always say what I want to hear but you move me
Across the rooftops and into the deep blue sea
Did we not choose each other
Are we just heroes for a day
This time I will stand by you
And mine is the heart I will save
I drew a hard line but I just cant see it
Your colours are bleeding all over my bullshit
I wanna be your star but I gotta learn to feel myself
I want your love and I need your help
Did we not choose each other
Are we just heroes for a day
This time I will stand by you
And mine is the heart I will save
Can we not judge each other
Id rather wipe your tears away
I can follow my heart till the end
But I just cant choose the way
Just because we live like dolphins together
So many reasons to break the wave
We can swim from streetlamp to streetlamp
We can be kissing in the rain
Can we not judge each other
Id rather wipe your tears away
I can follow my heart till the end
But I just cant choose the way
Listen baby, listen baby dont you do me wrong
I can make my bed, you can sing your song
Aint nobody else gonna make you shine
If its the truth you seek then darlin love youll find
I dont wanna, I dont wanna take your pain away
Isnt yours to give, isnt mine to save
Heres my heart, heres my hand, heres my soul
Take it in, take it apart, take it easy, let it go
(repeat three times)
