The Extraordinary Contraptions - For You For Me lyrics

She moves across the floor so sweetly, so eloquently, neatly Slowly to the place where I am standing She takes my hand, pulls me out Washes away any shred of doubt She culls me from all the fools Despite all of my fears And in return I'll give her the gift of all my years I tell her: They don't know you, not the way I do So don't pay attention to the frightful things they say They're only words, and they can only hurt If you let yourself believe in their foolish game She's so innocent, pure and perfect This can't only be love I'd give my life to protect her if only that were enough She can't hide her feelings, I see them all too clearly The subtle differences in the lines upon her face I watch her from a distance, and she knows that she's defenseless As I read the words her trembling lips trace: Don't leave me standing in your shadow For it's far too cold I will give to you a love you've never known Here I'll stay Keep you warm and safe Just give to me your love Your love Oh, love She whispers oh so sweetly, frames her words so neatly And I sit silent still in riveted suspense Every sound that leaves her mouth My heart does its best to leap straight from my chest What is it that I could have done to have Ever warranted this For a love so complete and so full of bliss
