Summer salted all our winter wounds
And pressed them cool against the tiles,
Keep your heat when seasons die,
And darken like the night
Unfold this day into a paper crane
And fold the wings from my desires,
Courage can be written down,
And practiced like a lie
I followed my longing to feel something new,
My love, it followed me
right back to you
Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine,
I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye,
In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find
Love lies
Summer tried to drown my shadow in the sea,
But my shadow swims along beneath,
And mirrors me on blackened shores,
Our darkness never leaves
I followed my longing to feel something new,
My love, it followed me
right back to you
Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine,
I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye,
In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find
Love lies
So I followed my longing,
my longing won't die,
I'm still tracing the map in the curve of your spine,
And the shadows are lengthening into the night,
Well, love lies
And pressed them cool against the tiles,
Keep your heat when seasons die,
And darken like the night
Unfold this day into a paper crane
And fold the wings from my desires,
Courage can be written down,
And practiced like a lie
I followed my longing to feel something new,
My love, it followed me
right back to you
Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine,
I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye,
In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find
Love lies
Summer tried to drown my shadow in the sea,
But my shadow swims along beneath,
And mirrors me on blackened shores,
Our darkness never leaves
I followed my longing to feel something new,
My love, it followed me
right back to you
Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine,
I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye,
In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find
Love lies
So I followed my longing,
my longing won't die,
I'm still tracing the map in the curve of your spine,
And the shadows are lengthening into the night,
Well, love lies
