I went chasing you down those stairs
But by the time I reached the bottom
Baby you weren't there
I could've sworn that you vanished
In to thin air
But I heard your voice say
Come and find me if you dare
I woke up on the edge of the earth
With your name on my tongue
And my face in the dirt
No sun in the sky
And a hole in my shirt
Where a heart used to be
Your lips are an oasis
That could quench my thirst
Oh but love is like a desert
Could you soothe my burns
Your voice is the wind
That could carry me home
Oh but love is like an ocean
And I'm out here all alone
I woke up on the edge of the earth
With your name on my tongue
And my face in the dirt
No sun in the sky
And a hole in my shirt
Where a heart used to be
Miles and miles and miles I roamed
To the beat of the drum
By the hum in my bones
Walked the streets
And the mountains
And streams like a ghost
Spent my time
Spent my time
Spent my time skipping stones
I went racing back up those stairs
Like a gun to the sun
Baby you were there
With a look in your eyes like
Where you been
And a break in your heart
Tattoos on your skin
I said
I woke up on the edge of the earth
With your name on my tongue
And my face in the dirt
No sun in the sky
And a hole in my shirt
Where a heart used to be
