I get by, I keep dreaming that love won't die It gathers in clouds They burst but I stay dry The night sticks like jealousy to me I'm cold and I don't want to be If your heart is screaming it's not my concern If it begs for meaning I will twist and turn When it cries for answers Then I will play dumb 'Cos I never learned to walk before I run I get tired when the heavens and the earth conspire They huddle and talk And put smoke where there is no fire I twist my arms and grit my teeth to see If real life is too real for me If your love is screaming it's not my concern If it begs for meaning I will twist and turn When it cries for answers Then I will play dumb 'Cos I never learned to walk before I run In the wiredrawn lines behind my face There is no light, it has no space I should long for air 'cos you grip so tight Like the dark that wraps around me when I'm buried by the fight If your love is screaming it's not my concern If it begs for meaning I will twist and turn When it cries for answers Then I will play dumb 'Cos I never learned to walk before I run
