Intravenous
Summer lays in field and fern
There's no return from what you learn
Leaves behind a keener burn
I'll drink to you tonight
Intravenous, intravenous
Come to me undissolved
Intravenous, intravenous
Take on this whole
There's never any medicine in sugar pills
But I have grown addicted to your high
There's heaven in an innocently given will
I'm craving for a love that's simplified
And pure
Winter wise, in sleep we find
We dream, we fall behind
Intravenous, intravenous
Come to me undisguised
Intravenous, intravenous
Open my eyes
All I really care is that the sun will rise
Cos I can find a certainty in light
In younger days I couldn't find the compromise
But now I understand that you were right
And everything around us will regress to this
Depending on each other for a high
There's only you and me to make the best of this
And everyone outside can stay behind
The door
