*Lyrics*
Lover
You got me shaken
Lover
Bones all aching
Like two cars crashed in the night
We burn so bright
Our bodies crash every night
We'll never be quite right
Lover
Your eyes are crystal blue
Lover
Please say something true
Our homes burn every night
We burn so bright
Our hearts burn in the night
Our love consumed
In the fire
Lover
Why did you walk away
Lover
How could you stray from me
Like a vine wrapped around a tree
You have a hold on me
Like the wind controls the sea
You always had
A hold on me
Lover....
