I was begging for your touch in the wilderness
You took my hand and led me straight into the hornet's nest
Twenty-seven, you were feeling stuck
Guess it's all part of your growing up
I was searching for your lips in a giant's sky
They never said it was a stalk that only Jack could climb
Twenty-two, I felt so vulnerable
Wish you'd told me more I was lovable
Please can we go?
Please can we run away?
Like two boxcar kids, we'll be rich someday
Please can you lead?
Please can you just be brave?
Like Eurydice, I'll be your's to save
I was standing in the snow in our darkest fight
A winter's tale as old as time it twas your coldest night
Twenty-seven, you were on the run
Couldn't face the consequence of skinny love
I was fighting head and heart lost in Wonderland
I drank your poison like a Cheshire with an evil grin
Twenty-two I wanted something small
Just the kind of love that could end it all
Please can we stop?
Please can we start again?
Like two birds of a feather, we could ride the wind
Please can you try?
Please can you stay and fight?
Like Sleeping Beauty just your kiss could stop my endless night
(Oh)
I watched the world stop spinning
(Oh)
The waves, they crashed around me
(Oh)
You birthed a new horizon
(Oh)
Your light consumed me
