LYRICS

Oh, warm in my bed
With your head on my chest
And the rest of the world fast asleep
You are wild and unknown
Made of muscle and bone
That in my arms like child full of dreams
Building and breaking
The give and the taking
Of love always changing
From thrill into ache
Always running and crawling
And crying and falling
We struggle for balance on the wall
Shadows of ourselves
It's such a strange thing
The pull of a heart string
That turned my world on it's side
And though I can't catch my breath
Such a welcome unrest
If this love let me drive what I
The building and breaking
The give and the taking
Of love always changing
From thrill into ache
Always running and crawling
And flying and falling
We struggle for balance on the wall
Shadows from sleepless nights beneath our eyes
Shadows in the crib where my baby lies
Shadows from wrinkles that time demands
And then shadows where two grave stones stand
We're building and breaking
The give and the taking
Of life always changing
From thrill into ache
Always running and crawling
And flying and falling
We struggle for balance one and all
Building and breaking
The give and the taking
Of life always changing
From thrill into ache
Always running and crawling
And flying and falling
We struggle for balance on the wall
Shadows of ourselves
Shadows of ourselves
Da da da dum da da
Da da da dum da da
Da da da dum da da
