Through wind and rain we got here Now we're flying babe with no fear We've been doing pain for so long When I stare in your eyes it's all gone Through wind and rain we burn bright Learn to fly through flames and hold tight With so many ways to go wrong But when I look in your eyes they're all gone [Chorus] And in my dreams it feels like we are forty stories tall When you're around, oh, we're untouchable And in my dreams it feels like we aren't ever gonna fall We're safe and sound and we're untouchable It's only real when you're not around I'm walking in the rain, the sun goes down (oh oh) And only love can save us now I need you hear again to show me how (oh oh) I know that love shouldn't be so hard And sometimes we're standing in the dark But you light up everywhere I go And I know a heart shouldn't beat so hard And sometimes we're swimming with the sharks But you light up and keep me out the cold [Chorus] It's only real when you're not around The candle in my head is burning out (oh oh) I know that love shouldn't be so hard And sometimes we're standing in the dark But you light up everywhere I go And I know a heart shouldn't beat so hard And sometimes we're swimming with the sharks But you light up and keep me out the cold [Chorus] Whenever you're gone (gone) they wait at the door And everything's hurting like before Without any meaning, we're just skin and bone Like beautiful robots dancing alone Whenever you're gone (gone) they wait at the door And everything's hurting like before Without any meaning, we're just skin and bone Like beautiful robots dancing alone [Chorus]
