We crossed our desires, we crossed our eyes
In tokens, in charms, in smoke, in kind
We spent it all
We buried our cause
We straightened our spine

Swayed and fettered, swooned and crowned
Even the bliss is pain somehow
I read up on glances and tethered to chances
Eloped with the sounds

How did you perceive me
How did you complete me
Cold shoulders apart
Sway into my arms
Slip into my heart

I stumbled with grace in my stride
I cordoned my hopes to one side
I slipped on my swerves
I balanced on curves
I slowed down my ride

Oh when you were faded, you looked away
When you were spoken, when you refrained
I called in my favours
I called in my troops
I left you alone
Tired of being only
The rain, the sun, the lonely
Cold shoulders apart
Sway into my arms
Slip into my heart
