Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin I've been waiting for you Signed with a home tattoo Happy birthday to you was created for you Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces? Ah, it'll take a little time Might take a little crime to come undone Now we'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone Words, playing me deja vu Like a radio tune, I swear I've heard before Chill, is it something real? Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces? Lost, in a snow filled sky We'll make it alright to come undone Now we'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone (Can't ever keep from falling apart) Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone (Can't ever keep from falling apart) Who do you need? Who do you love? (Can't ever keep from falling apart) Who do you love? When you come undone
