Wake up next to someone that you hardly know Talk yourself into love 'cause you know you don't want to end up alone Find yourself knowing someone as they suddenly change Turn a self-centered girl into gold and she'll fall into greed Like you and me would do if we were mistaken for living a dream I left my heart in love I let my head go free I left my heart in love Now, I try to recall the time you said, "There's no ocean in Ireland" Move yourself from this city There are no flowers here Nor the walls or the ships make this home
It's people who build from the ground Lose your faith in heaven 'cause of those you've lost Don't let go of all that you know as you try to be free Just you and me left all alone in a world that lives in our dreams I left my heart in love I let my head go free I left my heart in love Now, I try to recall the time you said, "There's no ocean in Ireland" Everyone around is swimming in the ocean While the kids are in the sound, floating for a new direction Take them by the hand Let them take it slow
