Some call it pessimistic Some call it protection I call it an addiction To move in that direction I've never felt quite like this You're everything I've written Like I made man of a list While the universe was listenin' I've done it to myself this time But I've never met a spark so strong Yet I can't stop thinkin' 'bout the day It will all go wrong Your love's Too powerful for me to fight Like sunflowers swayin', standing in the dead of night I know, one morning that the sun will rise And we'll go about our days Walkin' past the finish line My family says I'm glowing I feel it on my cheekbones Like a midsummer's rain In the desert where the earth groans And we're kissing in the kitchen light And you know me like your favorite song Yet I still wait for the day Where it will all go wrong Your love's Too powerful for me to fight Where an ocean will lay, somewhere now the land is dry But I know, one day there will come a time And we'll take our separate ways Walkin' past the finish line The finish line
