Once Around the Block

You quiver like a candle on fire

I'm putting you out

Maybe tonight we could be the last shout

An' I'm fascinated by your style

Your beauty will last for a while

You're feeling instead of being

The more that I live on the inside

There's nothing to give

I'm infatuated by your moves

I've gotta search hard for your clues, ooh

I want to repair your desire

And call it a gift

That I stole from just wanting to live

Now I see the vision through your eyes

Your innocence no longer fuels surprise

Trying to outrun your fear

You're running to lose

Heart on your sleeve and your soul in your shoes

Take a left, a sharp left, and another left

Meet me on the corner, we'll start again
