I saw your face in a photograph
Seems forever since I saw you laugh
Read a story in a magazine
Didn't help these insecurities
And when I try to talk to you
Seem to get nothing through
Hearts collide in the ashes of our time
Please don't take me home tonight
My words desert you, they seem to blow away
They just confuse you
Not give it all away
Around and around and around we run
We don't know our course
When it's time to break your fall, my words desert you
Between the static of the TV screens
Above the panic of society
We kissed the way that only lovers could
I'm not the first to be misunderstood
When I try to let you know
Where do good intentions go?
And all along I thought you'd know
You can't confide in me
Another promise that I won't believe
Please don't take me home tonight
My words desert you, they seem to blow away
They just confuse you
Not give it all away
Around and around and around we run
We don't know our course
When it's time to break your fall, my words desert you
