Sophie B. Hawkins - Did We Not Choose Each Other lyrics

I'm a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place

You've launched a secret heart with your face

You don't always say what I want to hear but you move me

Across the rooftops and into the deep blue sea

Did we not choose each other

Are we just heroes for a day

This time I will stand by you

And mine is the heart I will save

I drew a hard line but I just can't see it

Your colors are bleeding all over my bullshit

I wanna be your star but I gotta learn to feel myself

I want your love and I need your help

Did we not choose each other

Are we just heroes for a day

This time I will stand by you

And mine is the heart I will save

Can we not judge each other

I'd rather wipe your tears away

I can follow my heart til the end

But I just can't choose the way

Just because we live like dolphins together

So many reasons to break the wave

We can swim from street lamp to street lamp whatever

We can be kissing in the rain

Can we not judge each other

I'd rather wipe your tears away

I can follow my heart til the end

But I just can't choose the way

Listen baby listen baby

Don't you do me wrong

I can my my bed

You can sing your song

Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine

If it's truth you seek

Then darling

Love you'll find

I don't wanna

I don't wanna

Take your pain away

It isn't yours to give

It isn't mine to save

Here's my heart

Here's my hand

Here's my soul

Take it in

Take it apart

Take it easy

Let it go
