Badly Drawn Boy - Once around the block lyrics

You quiver like a candle on fire

I'm putting you out

Maybe tonight we could be the last shout

But I'm fascinated by your style

Your beauty will last for a while

You're feeling instead of being

The more that I live on the inside

There's nothing to give

I'm infatuated by your moves

I'm got to search out for your clues

I want to repair your desire

And call it a gift that I stole from

just wanting to live

Now I see the vision through your eyes

Your innocence no longer fuels surprise

Trying to outrun your fear

Your running to lose, heart on your sleeve

And your soul in your shoes

Take a left, a sharp left

And another left, meet me on the corner

And we'll start again
