When I wake up abroad
Tangled up by unknowns
I feel a strange warmth by my side
I know what you mean
There's pleasure in taking it slow
Never heard a lovelier voice
And the subtleties it hides
Harnessing powers beneath the tones
Whatever remains of me
The unbearable weight of water
How can you say "just hold it down"?
How can you say "don't swallow propane"?
How can you stand so unaware?
How can you caress every drop in the rain?
How can you weave together words
In a way I'll happily misunderstand?
And I've tucked my shirt tight
Walked towards the bar lights
To take you for drinks even if just tonight
Champagne in the park
Well now that sounds like a plan
I don't know what I do
Half or most of the time
But now I've got a certain aim
All I wanna do is see your face
Bypass the terror, surrender, be reckless
How can you say "just hold it down"?
How can you say "don't swallow propane"?
How can you stand so unaware?
How can you caress every drop in the rain?
How can you weave together words
In a way I think I now can understand?
