All my old lovers surround me
Like virgins clean today
Waist deep in the water
Pushing my body away
Oh what makes me go
To put the past away?
Oh how many drops can you squeeze out to explain
What happened one day?
Here one of them stayed behind
And trailed me from afar
I saw her eyes lit up
Like colors in the dark
But when our gazes met
I was half a world away
It still shortens my breath
As I turn to say
When we meet another way
You won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way
Or another, you won’t
You won’t speak up, speak up, speak up
When we meet one way
You won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way
Or another, you won’t
You won’t speak up, speak up, speak up
And one day it suits me
The next it bleeds me dry
It plays out like a lifetime
Before the morning light
How beautiful it was to be anything at all
But somehow it strikes me
That time can’t beat all
When we meet another way
You won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way
Or another, you won’t
You won’t speak up, speak up, speak up
When we meet one way
You won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way
Or another, you won’t
You won’t speak up, speak up, speak up
You won’t speak up, speak up
You won’t speak up, speak up
You won’t speak up, speak up
Like virgins clean today
Waist deep in the water
Pushing my body away
To put the past away?
Oh how many drops can you squeeze out to explain
What happened one day?
And trailed me from afar
I saw her eyes lit up
Like colors in the dark
I was half a world away
It still shortens my breath
As I turn to say
You won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way
Or another, you won’t
You won’t speak up, speak up, speak up
You won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way
Or another, you won’t
You won’t speak up, speak up, speak up
The next it bleeds me dry
It plays out like a lifetime
Before the morning light
But somehow it strikes me
That time can’t beat all
You won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way
Or another, you won’t
You won’t speak up, speak up, speak up
You won’t recognize my face
When we meet one way
Or another, you won’t
You won’t speak up, speak up, speak up
You won’t speak up, speak up
You won’t speak up, speak up
