The day before the day I knew your name
I knew that we were both the same
I knew my heart was stolen.
And underneath the moon & stars
Ignoring all my battle scars
You held my hand until the morning.
If you throw me in the water I can swim.
If you throw me to the wind I can fly.
Build a little fire under my skin
And I'll keep it alight.
Nights are like oceans, there's room in my bed.
Climb on aboard and we'll drift until dawn.
And you'll always be mine and you won't let it end.
If you throw me in the water I can swim.
If you throw me to the wind I can fly.
Build a little fire under my skin
And I'll keep it alight.
Trace a line and plot a course
While empties pile up on the porch
Like memories in bottles.
We'll master all the elements
When after what I give is spent
And I've got nothing to expect.
If you throw me in the water I can swim.
If you throw me to the wind I can fly.
Build a little fire under my skin
And I'll keep it alight. I'll keep it alight. I'll keep it alight.
