In pitch dark 
I go walking in your landscape 
Broken branches 
Trip me as I speak 

Just 'cause you feel it 
Doesn't mean it's there 
Just 'cause you feel it 
Doesn't mean it's there 

There's always a siren 
Singing you to shipwreck 
(Don't reach out, don't reach out 
Don't reach out, don't reach out) 

Stay away from each rocks 
We'd be a walking disaster 
(Don't reach out, don't reach out 
Don't reach out, don't reach out) 

Just 'cause you feel it 
Doesn't mean it's there 
(Someone on your shoulder 
Someone on your shoulder) 

Just 'cause you feel it 
Doesn't mean it's there 
(Someone on your shoulder 
Someone on your shoulder) 

There there! 

Why so green and lonely? 
Lonely, lonely? 

Heaven sent you to me 
To me, to me? 

We are accidents waiting 
Waiting to happen 

We are accidents waiting 
Waiting to happen
