lyrics

You’re like a hurricane,
You swept me off my feet when the moment came,
You told me I was standing in the perfect place,
centre of your pain.

I’m not asleep again,
I’m writing you a note that I will leave for when,
I can’t find the words to tell you everything.
at the centre of my pain.

But it’s too late now, you found the words,
I left them in the car.
Do you understand?
I’m frightened we will stay the way we are.

And I, don’t want your pain,
I want your name in lights
reflecting on my face,
And I won’t let you drive,
You’re way too focussed on the passenger side.

You lost your way again
and you can’t find the keys just to let me in.
Why when it’s me do you just walk right in
to the centre of this pain?

But it’s too late now, you found the words,
I left them in the car.
Can you let me in?
‘Coz I can only drive us so far.

And I, don’t want your pain,
I want your name in lights
reflecting on my face,
And I won’t let you drive,
You’re way too focussed on the passenger side.

And I, don’t want your pain,
I want your name in lights
reflecting on my face.
