The lyrics from the live performance at the Disney Concert Hall: I can only say these things to you while you’re sleeping I hear the hum from the wires and the sounds of the morning creeping I lie awake and pretend you can hear me You tell me that you’re scared that you’re turning into your mother I feel myself turning into my father As we lie to each other like they do and say we’re so happy It’s easy when you’re young and you still want it so badly I turn over again and feel my heart beating faster I stare out the window and I think I might scream And I could tell you that you’re all I’ve ever wanted dear I could utter ever word you’ve ever hoped to hear I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever And the time when we were alone together at the station You were so quiet like a child and you told me you want to be taken Just never thought of you as the kind of girl who would do that You suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp And I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t find it exciting Your eyes all wet your face so warm and inviting And I could tell you that you’re all I’ve ever wanted dear I could utter ever word you’ve ever hoped to hear I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever I could tell you that I’m always gonna love you like the virgin bride you were that night but I’d be lying Love is defying And all I can think is that it must be a kind of rebellion So on these fears like soldiers and slay them And I could tell you that you’re all I’ve ever wanted dear Through the dead of your breathing while you’re sleeping here And you waken and you ask me if I’m gonna be here forever, forever, forever Your face so twisted and your eyes alight I want to tell you I can save you when you cry at night but I’d be trying Love is defying Won’t you stop crying? |
