lyrics

love is a stranger
morning comes
sunlight and danger
broken thumbs
new with every heartbeat
cut from your hair
asleep in the back seat
i don't care

I am alone here
I am unknown here
beating a heart
tell me just tell me

stood on your shoulders
and crawled from the sea
with words dropped like boulders
downed like a tree
the last of the headlights
walk back to town
they ask how the pen writes
with no one around

if i am alone here
if i am unknown here
beating a heart
tell me just tell me

my reflection is smiling
you fall on your face
with everything dying
for love to replace
i want you in circles
and outside the frame
i love you in detail
i love you in name

so I am alone here
I am unknown here
beating a heart
tell me just tell me
