lyrics

I’ve been thrown away before
I’ve found ways and means of picking myself up off of the floor
scaring enemies
scary when the enemy’s a living breathing part of me

still love aches, but it’s better than freezing up and spinning into space

let’s show the world what love is for
let’s show the world what love is really for

I’ve been rolling on the sea
staying down below hiding in the hold of misery
scary to know that space
scary when the love you feel is always falling off of someone’s face

still love aches, but it’s better than freezing up and spinning into space

let’s show the world what love is for
let’s show the world what love is really for

I’ve been begging at the door
I’ve spent days and weeks trying to find out what I’m living for
scary to know that space
still it doesn’t matter where I’ve been as long as I arrive before too late

still love aches, but it’s better than freezing up and spinning into space

let’s show the world what love is for
let’s show the world what love is really for
