Lyrics

[00:38.22] Went from cities to touch the suburbs
[00:42.48] On the highway, but I'm barefoot
[00:47.74] I need a map but not the destination
[00:51.41] Need a compass but not a conversation
[00:56.59] I want to run far from this grey town
[01:01.30] You're on every street, marked on the ground
[01:06.02] I want momentum but not the pace
[01:09.90] Want the prize but not the race
[01:15.02] I want the jump but not the height
[01:37.64] Let me fall but catch me mid-flight
[01:42.38] I swam with sharks and beasts of the sea
[01:47.39] Only went down for the company
[01:52.07] Went down for the company
[02:07.46] I forgot to mention
[02:10.66] That you won't come back home when I call
[02:14.47] Left no sign, nothing at all
[02:19.04] I'm sorry you won't fit inside my heart
[02:24.22] I wanted love without the build up
[02:33.50] I need the rules but not the regulations
[02:37.83] Want the wisdom but not the information
[02:42.70] Need the light but not the heat of the day
[02:47.35] Need your hands to show me how to pray
[02:51.84] I lost the plot underneath the fire
[02:56.29] Of all the dots and lines that took me higher
[03:01.14] Away from traffic and smiles of tire
[03:05.69] I like the nights but not the tangled wires
[03:10.47] Need the pulse to feel alive
[03:14.56] All the world's just made it seem all quiet
[03:19.42] This has all become far too loud
[03:24.31] I like you more when you don't make a sound
[03:29.54] You won't come back home when I call
[03:33.48] You left no sign, nothing at all
[03:37.53] I'm sorry you won't fit inside my heart
[03:42.63] Won't you come light the way and wash this away
[03:51.99] I wanted love without the build up
[04:00.20]
