Beware the danger, it lurks for those who get swept away
The dreamers get punished most by the truth they say
It's all in the little ways one reveals their love's gone away
Love's gone away
When my hand was in your hand my heart was pure
And now I see a different man
Rewriting memories
The dogs run down the beach
And all I'm left with is sand in my shoes
Sand in my shoes
'Cause fools like me
Oh we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
Now I recall the time at the cafe
The thunderstorm outside
Words you could never say
They hold the loudest tones
They say you're right
But it's ink on a page
Just ink on a page
But fools like me
Oh we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
Tick-tock the time
Distant look grows in your eyes
And fools never ask
Afraid what lurks in your eyes
I always knew, somehow always knew
I always knew the truth
Cause fools like me
Oh we never see
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
And it's breaking
It's breaking
It's gotta break for me to see
At least I can say I was not afraid
I loved you all the way
And I'd pick the fool any day
The dreamers get punished most by the truth they say
It's all in the little ways one reveals their love's gone away
Love's gone away
When my hand was in your hand my heart was pure
And now I see a different man
Rewriting memories
The dogs run down the beach
And all I'm left with is sand in my shoes
Sand in my shoes
'Cause fools like me
Oh we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
Now I recall the time at the cafe
The thunderstorm outside
Words you could never say
They hold the loudest tones
They say you're right
But it's ink on a page
Just ink on a page
But fools like me
Oh we love blindly
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
Tick-tock the time
Distant look grows in your eyes
And fools never ask
Afraid what lurks in your eyes
I always knew, somehow always knew
I always knew the truth
Cause fools like me
Oh we never see
And the cracks don't count
It's gotta break in front of me
And it's breaking
It's breaking
It's gotta break for me to see
At least I can say I was not afraid
I loved you all the way
And I'd pick the fool any day

^ Yes, I think the "it's breaking" part could be really intense on the album, too. I'm hoping it will sort of sound stormy and that the whole song will just start booming at this point. The piano is very low and rumbling here and I just hope they do it justice. It's my favorite part of the song. And I totally agree with you about how every turn of lyric and music in this song fits perfectly. A definite Vanessa favorite :)
