all my lovers surround me
like virgins cling to day
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
and one of them stayed behind
and trailed me from afar
i saw her eyes lit up
like colors in the dark
but when our faces met
i was half a world away
it still shortens my breathe
as i turned to stay
when we meet another way
you wont recognize my face
when we meet one way or another
you wont you wont speak up speak up speak up
when we meet one day
you wont recognize my face
when we meet one way or another
you wont speak up speak up speak up
and one day it suits me
the next it cleans me dry
it comes on like a life time
and passes through the morning light
how beautiful it was
to be anything at all
but somehow it strikes me
the timing came a bit off, off
when we meet another day
you wont recognize my face
when we meet one way or another
you wont you wont speak up speak up speak up
when we meet one way
you wont recognize my face
when we meet one way or another
you wont you wont speak up speak up speak up
you wont speak up speak up
you wont speak up speak up
you wont speak up speak up
