lyrics
This one
You dance to the left watching yourself watching her eyes,
For signs of defeat when victory's sweet and better than gold,
She leans to the right catching her breath catching your soul,
We talk of desire but both of us know this contract's sold.
So what me about This One,
Does she take you to worlds you've never known,
So tell me about This One,
Can she swim through the lies,
The sharks and the ghosts of old love.
We use all of the tests paper and blood to come to a choice,
To step out of the warmth and into the frost of her arms alone,
I should cut through this dance stealing this girl stealing her charms,
And drink deeply with those who carry the scars these lovers she's known.
So what me about This One,
Does she take you to worlds you've never known,
So tell me about This One,
Can she swim through the lies,
The sharks and the ghosts of old love.
These battles that claim us,
They rarely serve us well.
You dance to the left watching yourself watching her eyes,
For signs of defeat when victory's sweet and better than gold...
You dance to the left watching yourself watching her eyes,
For signs of defeat when victory's sweet and better than gold,
She leans to the right catching her breath catching your soul,
We talk of desire but both of us know this contract's sold.
So what me about This One,
Does she take you to worlds you've never known,
So tell me about This One,
Can she swim through the lies,
The sharks and the ghosts of old love.
We use all of the tests paper and blood to come to a choice,
To step out of the warmth and into the frost of her arms alone,
I should cut through this dance stealing this girl stealing her charms,
And drink deeply with those who carry the scars these lovers she's known.
So what me about This One,
Does she take you to worlds you've never known,
So tell me about This One,
Can she swim through the lies,
The sharks and the ghosts of old love.
These battles that claim us,
They rarely serve us well.
You dance to the left watching yourself watching her eyes,
For signs of defeat when victory's sweet and better than gold...
