Johnny Belinda Lyrics

i came home
in the morning
just a little bit ago

you lie asleep
in our bed
all twisted in your clothes

when the rain came down
upon our rooftop
with a rhythm like this

let the hair stand up
on my shoulders
when you open your mouth

say aaooh
say aaooh

so i wrote you a letter
etched into my forearm
with the pen that you gave me

'cause if there's one thing that i mustn't face
this is permanent
this is permanent

wish that i was strong enough
wish that i could give it all
wish that i could change enough
to be yours

wish that i could give it all
wish that i was strong enough
wish that i could change enough
to be yours

wish that i was strong enough
wish that i could give it all
wish that i could change enough
to be yours

wish that i could give it all
wish that i could change enough
wish that i was strong enough
to be yours

Great Song though.
