All my life I've been slow and senseless
Not struck dumb, I'm just dumb, that's all
I can give you the constellations
Lay down here and we'll count them all

Madeleine
Madeleine
Madeleine

Call me back when the war is over
Call me back when your boyfriend's gone
I'm aware of your oscillations
Don't believe I'm the only one

Slave to the inside light
My world is burning on eternally
For the fire I lack this flame is feeling fine

Madeleine
Madeleine
Madeleine

Give my arms just for your intentions
Give my back to impress you now
I'm so joyful that I have found you
All I need's you to see me now

Slain by the words I lack
The world is bursting sappy music and
With your face so sad I long to make you mine
Slain by the inside light
My world is burning on eternally
For the fire I lack this flame is feeling fine

Madeleine
Madeleine
Madeleine

    It's kind of an unconventional love song. He's really in love with her, she's unstable and has commitment issues (I kind of love that he refers to her affairs as "your oscillations"), but he doesn't care, he just wants to make her happy.
