I see you blew your cover
You’ve got a tell tale heart that bleeds
You’re singing in a strange key
You’re really not so special
Turns out the truth gets in the way
I saw him on the street today
Oooo I have to ask you why
Why you dream in color and live in black and white
Oooo it’s time to change your mind
All the clouds are high above us
Rivers flow below
We’re only love and lies
And nobody knows
What to say
It’s gonna be ok
You could not see the trouble
Until it crawled into your head
It could’ve used the door instead
Now you are seeing double
Just try and guess which one is real
They’ve got you in the middle
Oooo it makes you want to cry
When the fish are jumpin’ and the bees are buzzin’ by
Oooo we should’ve been spies
All the clouds are high above us
Rivers flow below
We’re only love and lies
And nobody knows
What to say
It’s gonna be ok
Let’s write this song together
Cause never sometimes means the end
When your bones are gettin brittle
These times of deep confessions
Sessions that catch you like the wind
Blowin’ you home again
Oooo I have to ask you why
Why my dreams are pumpin’ and these sleeps are so divine
Oooo we’re runnin’ out of time
All the clouds are high above us
Rivers flow below
We’re only love and lies
And nobody knows
What to say
It’s gonna be ok
