The Build Up
Went from cities to touch the suburbsOn the highway, but I'm barefootI need a map but not the destinationNeed a compass but not a conversation
I want to run far from this grey townYou're on every street, marked on the groundNot the meant and not the paintWant the price but not the raise
I want the jump but not the heightLet me fall but catch me mid flightI swam with sharks and beasts of the seaOnly went down for the companyWent down for the company
I forgot to mention:That you would come back home when I callLeft no sign, nothing at allSorry you won't fit inside my heartI wanted love without the build up
I need the rules but not the regulationsWant the wisdom but not the informationNeed the light but not the heat of the dayNeed your hands to show me how to pray
I lost the plot underneath the fireOf all the dots and lines that took me higherAway from traffic and smiles of tireI like the nights but not the tangled wires
Need the pulse to feel aliveAll the world's just made it seem all quietThis has all become far too loudI like you more when you don't make a sound
You will come back home when I callLeft no sign, nothing at allSorry you won't fit inside my heartWon't you come light the way and wash this away
I wanted love without the build up
