Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Throw your heart to me

Let it fall and hit the ground

Let it go, oh, oh, oh

Your timing was so wrong

And I just want to be found

[Verse 2]

And, oh

And I, yeah, I've got the lines, I've got the lines

Oh, it's bright this time and this type of mine, this disguise

Oh, you talk, ooh, to me

[Verse 3]

Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut

I can see through them

I can see through them

I am drawing pictures, I'm evading

I will not use them

I will not use them again

[Verse 4]

And it starts again

You come over with your friends

I don't wanna talk to them

And all I really want is to start again

[Verse 5]

And, oh

And I, yeah, I've got the lines, I've got the lines

Oh, it's brighter this time

This type of mine, this disguise

Oh, you talk, ooh, to me

[Verse 6]

Well, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut

I can see through them

I can see through them

And I am drawing pictures, I'm evading

I will not use them

I will not use them

[Verse 7]

'Cause I want to be bigger than life

Hurt you, hurt you

'Cause I want to be bigger than life

Hurt you, hurt you

[Verse 8]

And, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut

I can see through them

I can see through them

And I am drawing pictures, I'm evading

I will not use them

I will not use them

[Verse 9]

No, nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut

I can see through them

I can see through them
