I could show you out of here
Show you thorns when you reach for the rose
I could show you a door into daylight
Oh, you know, I have to keep it closed

You see my hands, I see your stare ]
You were happy in the starry nowhere ]
Oh, so happy ] (Chorus)

I could give you a good time too soon
The holy father told me to wait
I could blind you with a night on the moon
I could change you, it's never too late

(Chorus)

I see myself walking the same sinking streets
I walk in circles and a straight, straighter line beats
Beats in my heart

I could make it so easy for you
Show you something better than life
I could just put my hand around your heart
Make it easy in paradise

(Chorus)

I see myself walking with the heavenly choir
I could be so happy in a city on fire
Fire is a sign

I could leave you dreaming your life away
Show you how different it could be
Let me take you right out of your dreams
Someone's leaving and I know it's not me

We pull the blinds across the sky
Here we are, buried alive

I see the woman and I show her my dreams
I buy the figures and I play her my themes
The variations inside my heart
