If I should tell the world about you
I would plug my heart into an amp
Let the music play
Until the echo turns into thunder
And the earth quakes out of bass
If I should tell the world about you
I would place my hand on your chin
And my body would speak you in shivers and lightning.
There is ache underneath my skin
There is tragedy
There is enough poetry to defy my pride
Enough ornery to stab my own mind
How much stubborn hope could one breath of life carry
How much fire does it take for one chest to freeze
How much more agony could you bring
And how much more could I give
If I should tell the world about you
I couldn't
It would take so much of me
And you have already had enough
