Lyrics:
------
Intro(2x)
Rif 1: The strands in your eyes that color them wonderfull
Stop me and steal my breath
Rif 1: Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Rif 2: Tell me that we belong together
Rif 2: Dress it up with the trappings of love
Rif 2: I`ll be captivated, I`ll hang from your lips
Rif 3: Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
Rif 1: And I`ll be your crying shoulder
I`ll be loves suicide
Rif 1: I`ll be better when I`m older
I`ll be the greatest fan of your life...Rif 1
Rif 1: Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
Rif 1: You`re my survival, you`re my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Rif 2: Tell me that we belong together
Rif 2: Dress it up with the trappings of love
Rif 2: I`ll be captivated, I`ll hang from your lips
Rif 3: Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above
Rif 1: And I`ll be your crying shoulder
I`ll be loves suicide
Rif 1: I`ll be better when I`m older
I`ll be the greatest fan of your life...Rif 1
Rif 4: And I`ve dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Rif 4: Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing that you said...Rif 5
Rif 1: And I`ll be your crying shoulder
I`ll be loves suicide
Rif 1: I`ll be better when I`m older
I`ll be the greatest fan of your life...Rif 1
