“This kicking here inside
Makes me leave you behind.
No more under the quilt
To keep you warm.
Your sister I was born.
You must lose me like an arrow,
Shot into the killer storm.”

“I love the way you look tonight
With your hair hangin' down on your shoulders.
N' I love the way you dance your slow sweet tango,
The way you wanna do everything but talk.
And how you stare at me with those undress me eyes,
Your breath on my body makes me warm inside.”

Then how can I feel the calm?
If theres nothing, nothing, nothing left to lose
Then what is this feeling

Must have kicked you around some.
Tell me why you wanna lay there
And revel in your abandon.
Listen it don't make no difference to me baby,
Everybody's had to fight to be free.
You see you don't have to live like a refugee”

“The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love they leave me breathless.

We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat.”
