listen
lyrics
any photograph
standing all alone
even though there’s arms around you
first you force a laugh
now you try a smile
uncomfortable when comfort surrounds
wither in their gaze
hide behind your eyes
hard to find the words they’re seeking
gotta find a cork for this leaking
too early for goodbyes
it’s just a low before the highs
turn away
move along
no one knows
it’s going wrong
aim to please
but don’t belong
down on your knees
so they’ll feel safe and strong
you see me holding up the wall
like it’s nothing at all
i’m never gonna fall in love
can’t you see my heart has stalled
it’s like an empty ball
i’m never gonna fall in love
now you’re off to school
smiling through your sighs
looking for a course correction
follow all their rules
tug at your disguise
connected by the disconnect
watching all the girls (they’re)
watching all the boys
you see them moving two by two
another ticket to the human zoo
now their playing with their toys
sit and listen to their stupid noise
hunker down
drive ahead
a monk, a clown
alive but dead
you sacrifice
you sell your soul
a world of ice
afraid to lose control
you see me holding up the wall
like i’m nothing at all
i’m never gonna fall in love
you see me crawling on the floor
it’s the alcohol
i’m never gonna fall in love
i’m wrestling a waterfall
and it’s nothing or all
i’m never gonna fall in love
i’m never gonna fall in love
finally far away
alone among the highs
you wander through the daylight dreaming
an actor in a play
at home in your disguise
out of focus in the sidewalk steam
she opens up your door
a spotlight finds her face
you’re standing by the dartboard waking
the glass around your heart is breaking
lost without a trace
then suddenly this stroke of grace
wide awake
crystal clear
she baked a cake
you’re free from fear
she likes your thoughts
you like hers too
you’re up all night
the sunshine warm and true
i hold you tight and stand up tall
step away from the wall
i never thought i’d fall in love
welcome to the magic show
where we lose control
gotta let it go to fall in love
we watch the ceiling crash to the floor
couldn’t ask for more
i never thought i’d fall in love
you’re never gonna fall in love
till you do
