Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you come across the sea
Being like a beacon, guiding you to safety
The sooner, the better now
And when you come
The hills will breathe like a baby
Pulled up, heavin' from the bottom of the ocean
The sooner, the better now
[Verse 2]
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses, fresh like a daisy
Chained up in a lion's den
The sooner, the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pourin' like a rain of blood to my emotions
And that is why I stumble to my knees
[Verse 3]
And why underneath the heavens
With the stars burnin' and explodin'
I know why I could never let you down
When you come
[Verse 4]
When you come like an iceberg
Float in darkness, smashing my hull
Send me to the bottom of the sea
I should know you better now
And when you come, your majesty
To entrap me, prince of light receding
The sooner, the better now
[Verse 5]
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses, hard like armor
The sooner, the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pourin' like a rain of blood to my emotions
Hey, that is why I stumble to my knees
[Verse 6]
And why underneath the heavens
With the stars, they're burnin' and explodin'
I know why I could never let you down
[Verse 7]
She came out of the water
Into my horizon
Like a cumulonimbus
Comin' in from the distance
Burnin' and explodin'
Burnin' and explodin'
Like a slow volcano
[Verse 8]
When you come
Wow, when you come
Cover the ground, cover the ground
With ashes, with ashes
Baby, when you come
[Verse 9]
I've been changed now
When you come
Burnin' and explodin'
When you come
When you come
