Clouds part Just to give us a little sun There's a limit to your love Like a waterfall in slow motion Like a map with no ocean There's a limit to your love Your love, your love, your love There's a limit to you care So carelessly there Is it truth or dare There's a limit to your care I love, I love, I love This dream of going upstream I love, I love, I love The trouble that you give me I know, I know, I know That only I can save me I'll go, I'll go, I'll go Right down the road There's a limit to your love Like a waterfall in slow motion Like a map with no ocean There's a limit to your love Your love, your love, your love I can't read your smile It should be written on your face I'm piecing it together There's something out of place Oh I love, I love, I love This dream of going upstream I love, I love, I love All the trouble that you give me I know, I know, I know That only I can save me I'll go, I'll go, I'll go Out on the road Because there is no limit There's no limit No limit, no limit, no limit Limit to my love
