I need to be alone tonight,
This city and her streets,
A cardboard sign reads help me
And I walk on,
And I run.
I touch you and you feel me,
I'm a river, I'm burning, I'm a thief,
I leave you and your skin and your beauty,
I leave you and your beauty and your teeth.
Can you see this blaze flared up,
From the spark of you,
Now this trick I've played makes me your slave,
I'll burn you out, I'll start again.
I saw my name in your hand,
I turned around and ran,
But to you or from you it's all the same,
To you or from you it's the same thing.
He says we're all alone,
He builds himself a home,
He builds it out of hair and teeth and fingernails and bones,
He hides it in his heart,
Then he tears it all apart,
He plasters all the pieces up with glue and calls it art,
He's a man with two left shoes,
He's a pretty cockatoo,
His song is full of sadness but he's beautiful in blue.
I need to be alone tonight,
Alone tonight.
Lauren Hoffman - Reasons To Fall [ With Lyrics ] (03:13)
Reasons To Fall, from her album Choreography. Lyrics: We're on a wire but it's better than drowning
And I don't care if I fall cuz I've never been higher Everythings changing but I don't care for
sameness 'Cause safety makes graves of the fearful I find A ride on a wave, a home on a wind-blown
cloud Make your body loud for me Could you be safe in my arms, and scared at the same time Running
towards and away 'til you're standing still The mystery's calling, come if you dare And find what is
