lyrics

you with the shiver and the hollowy eyes
make me an offer, make me a surprise
i saw your girlfriend, she was hanging around
i saw your boyfriend on the streets downtown

you smile cold, but your eyes are kind
make me believe in your beautiful mind
i saw you in the room when they were all gone
it's hard oh it's hard but i know you're the one

so what's the catch?

you with the walking by, sort of alone
i'll tag along, if you're on your way home
the things that we dreamed of could still come to be
if i can give up all that's left of me

so what's the catch?

your love is like a moth to a flame
and the light might be worth it in spite of the pain
your love is like a house falling down
but i'll stay inside so long as you are around
your love is like a lingering dream
i hold onto it, though i don't know what it means
your love is like a hesitant ghost
and i don't know if my love could ever come close
