Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Twenty nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
Twenty nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me
[Verse 2]
I'm only here
For this moment
[Verse 3]
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he need you
I'll be waitin' right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
[Verse 4]
Such a thing of wonder in this crowd
I'm a stranger in this town, you're
Free with me
And our eyes locked in downcast love, I sit here proud
Even now you're undressed in your
Dreams with me
[Verse 5]
I'm only here for this
Moment
[Verse 6]
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he need you
And I'll be waitin' right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away
[Verse 7]
And all the tears we've cried
Have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us there's
Nothin' in our way, my love
[Verse 8]
Don't you see, don't you see?
You're just the torch to put the flame to all our guilt and shame
And I'll rise like an ember in your name, I know
I know
[Verse 9]
I know everybody here wants you
And I know everybody here thinks he need you
I'll be waitin' right here just to show you
Oh, let me show you
(I'll be waitin' right here just to show you)
That love can rise, rise just like embers
(Everybody wants you)
Love can taste like the wine of the ages
(I know everybody here thinks he need you)
Oh, baby
And I know
(I'll be waitin' right here just to show you)
They all look so good from a distance, but I tell you I'm the one
I know everybody here will thinks he needs you
Thinks he needs you
And I'll be waitin' right here just to show you
