How can I love you from so far away
You're like a melody
Stuck on repeat
So bittersweet
I can't sleep
You never loved me anyway
It's like I'm still 18
Your fingertips upon my cheeks
I can't breathe
I loved it when you played to me
You were hiding in your violin
All Claude Debussy, Claire de lune
I'm the North Sea, you're the moon
Poets talk of Spring and change
Love and pain everything
I've held within my heart
And I don't know where to start
Should I kneel before some stubborn cross
And beg their ever-loving god
Look me in the eyes
Show me I'm alright because now
Peace, truth, tricks of light
I sleep all day stay up all night
I'm bluer than a bruise because
I'm still here waiting for you
And I can't speak my mind
Because I lost it last night
And I can't turn back time
I missed the boat and drowned in the riptide
I see you've drawn your lines
But it's cold on this side
And I still hear your violin sometimes
Don't get me wrong I know you don't love me, but
Maybe for seconds you did
Still I hope this song might one day find you and you'll
Come and hear me sing
Take the music
It's all for you
Cause I'm tired of writing songs just for the moon
Poets talk of Spring and change
Love and pain everything
I've held within my heart
And I don't know where to start
Should I kneel before some stubborn cross
And beg their ever-loving god
Look me in the eyes
Show me I'm alright because now
Peace, truth, tricks of light
I sleep all day stay up all night
I'm bluer than a bruise because
I'm still here waiting for you
And I can't speak my mind
Because I lost it last night
And I can't turn back time
I missed the boat and drowned in the riptide
I see you've drawn your lines
But it's cold on this side
And I still hear your violin sometimes
And I can't speak my mind
Because I lost it last night
And I can't turn back time
I missed the boat and drowned in the riptide
I see you've drawn your lines
But it's cold on this side
And I still hear your violin sometimes
I loved it when you played to me
You were hiding in your violin
All Claude Debussy, Claire de lune
I'm the North Sea, you're the moon
