Oral Fixation Vol. 2
Who’s to say
That we always have to agree
I think we both can take this one mistake
Like some kind of amnesty
Why to love and with such brutality
We’re compatible
But maybe a bit too much
That’s our ambiguity
I’ve cried a thousand storms
I’ve blown away the clouds
The heartbeat of the sun
Is racing mine
And listen how
My heart is waiting
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe
That we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
But I can see now
That shadows have turned to light
Well, we know how ephemeral life is
Disillusion takes what illusion gives
What’s the use of make believe
The needles of the clock
Are moving right to left
Pretend we never heard the things we said
Like we’ve been deaf
And start all over
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe
That we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
But I can see now
That shadows have turned to light
The heartbeat of the sun
Is racing mine
And listen how
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe
That we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
But I can see now
That shadows have turned to light
