Let me paint you a scene
From a silver screen
It was real
But felt like a daydream
On that infamous night
In 1979
Our lives became the object of a painting
I'd like to say so much more but I can't
Darling, I don't need love I need a friend
All I ever did was lie
Cause I can't stand goodbyes
Now here comes the prologue in paradise
May my songs serve as a sacrifice
Lord forgive me all my sins
I promise to be honest
I'm in love with love
With the idea of
I give second chances
Believe in first glances
All of the above
I'm in love with love
White horses by the ocean with you
And the taste of salt between my lips
I'm falling, it's casual and cruel
I can feel it slipping through my fingertips
Too soon to say goodbye?
I know it's the right time
There's signs up in the sky
But if our fates should realign
I'll never let you go
I'll keep your memory close
For better or for worse
This time it's real, it's not for show
White horses by the ocean with you
And the taste of salt between my lips
I'm falling, it's casual and cruel
I can feel it slipping through my fingertips
What a man man man
What a man man man
What a man man man
What a man man man
My pillar in the night
If they ask then I
Will say what a man
What a man
The killer of my heart
My soul and my art
But they say what a man
What a man
Now I'll write the song of all songs
Have I felt the right kind of love?
Oh I know I was never your girl
But I'd give you my world
(Take me back)
White horses by the ocean with you
And the taste of salt between my lips
I'm falling, it's casual and cruel
I can feel it slipping through my fingertips
You've already slipped through my fingertips
