Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Eyes make their peace in difficulties
With wounded lips and salted cheeks
And finally, we step to leave
To the departure lounge of disbelief
[Verse 2]
And I don't know where I'm going
But I know it's gonna be a long time
And I'll be leaving in the morning
Come the white wine, bitter sunlight
[Verse 3]
Wanna hear your beating heart tonight
Before the bleeding sun comes alive
I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time before daylight
[Verse 4]
In the canyon, underneath the trees
Behind the dark sky, you looked at me
I fell for you like autumn leaves
Never faded, evergreen
[Verse 5]
And I don't know where I'm going
But I know it's gonna be a long time
'Cause I'll be leaving in the morning
Come the white wine, bitter sunlight
[Verse 6]
Wanna hear your beating heart tonight
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Before the bleeding sun comes alive
(Alive, alive, alive)
I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time
[Verse 7]
I can't face this now, everything has changed
I just wanna be by your side
Here's hoping we collide
Here's hoping we collide
Here's hoping we collide
[Verse 8]
Wanna hear your beating heart tonight (Ah)
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Before the bleeding sun comes alive
(Alive, alive, alive)
I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight
And hear my beating heart one last time (Ah)
I wanna hear your beating heart tonight
