Lyrics
I can picture every detail of your face As I close my eyes And in that moment, in that liberating moment I can wrap you in my arms Well I fear that this will end But is it really just you and me And how deep still waters run On the outside we seem ideal But inside it's not much fun Like a newborn, I try to hold you Try to protect you, scroll through the hours Scroll through the days and Scroll through the years and Let's choose the best times Of this bittersweet love I can see where we should park And yet still inside my head Is this illusion Where you run across the room And lift me up amongst the stars In your arms, we fly away But when we fall back to earth we see How deep still waters run On the outside we seem ideal But inside it's not much fun Like a newborn, I try to hold you Try to protect you, scroll through the hours Scroll through the days and Scroll through the years and Let's choose the best times Of this bittersweet love Oh it's the silence that hurts more More than the shouting and the times When you walk out Turn back, turn back Turn back, turn back Love never moves in straight lines It begs, it whines Seeds we've planted We must cultivate the soil Not plow the surface of the wounds Without words that cause the hurt That's how unattached we are And how deep still waters run On the outside we seem ideal But inside it's not much fun Like a newborn, I try to hold you Try to protect you, scroll through the hours Scroll through the days and Scroll through the years and Let's choose the best times Of this bittersweet love Of this bittersweet love
