Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel good, it's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts, plane lifts
She moves on
[Verse 2]
But feel the bite whenever you believe that
You'll be lost, and love will find you
When the road bends, and the song ends
She moves on
[Verse 3]
I know the reason I feel so blessed
My heart still splashes inside my chest
But she, she is like a top, she cannot stop
She moves on
[Verse 4]
A sympathetic stranger
Lights a candle in the middle of the night
Her voice cracks, she jumps back
But she moves on, moves on
[Verse 5]
She says, "Ooh, my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power
As you shortly will discover"
[Verse 6]
Then I fall to my knees
Shake a rattle at the skies
And I'm afraid that I'll be taken
Abandoned, forsaken
In her cold coffee eyes
[Verse 7]
She can't sleep now, the moon is red
She fights a fever, she burns in bed
She needs to talk, so we take a walk
Down in the maroon light
[Verse 8]
She says, "Maybe these emotions are
As near to love as love will ever be"
So I agree, then the moon breaks
She takes the corner, that's all she takes
She moves on
[Verse 9]
She says, "Ooh, my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power
As you shortly will discover"
[Verse 10]
Then I fall to my knees
I grow weak, I go slack
As if she'd captured the breath of my
Voice in a bottle
And I can't catch it back
[Verse 11]
But I feel good, it's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts, the plane lifts
She moves on
[Verse 12]
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, ooh
