If a lover wants to stay you know she can't be made to run You can doctor people's claims with secret ink and carbon guns There ain't nowhere I can hide where I won't be afraid of you As unlikely as it sounds you know I'm still in love with you Well I'm left rubbing twigs in search of a flame for fire Whilst you like Icarus soar higher This time I ain't coming back child You took me once that's enough blackmail now Sweet love should never turn sour like this Line me up in your sights and you shoot to kiss If I could only hear your voice I could put m y jealous heart to rest But you rule over an isle where the crackling wire don't stretch With my tail between my legs I bring oddities from far afield I've sailed the doldrums, suffered lice and sunburn and sargasso weeds Well I'm left rubbing twigs in search of a flame for fire Whilst you like Icarus soar higher The boiling sun will melt the wax that holds your wings And lover's sheets can't break your fall It's gonna be alright child It was a risk, we knew it all along One mistake you'd play, I'd sing along It's a mistake, we knew it all along I can play but you can't sing along
