I learned to
love from songs
I know I do it wrong
I fall fast and
not very well
Try to dissemble
but you can tell
I can't play
by the rules
Too impatient
to be pursued
But you got
under my skin
Your skin
under my nails
Your smell on my hair
Your marks on my arms
If we can
choose our bruises
I've made my choice
Now I sing my own song
in my own voice
Though my tongue may
still be tied
In the end I will
be undenied
Oh I learned to
love from songs
I know I do it wrong
If I could have
what I wanted
You would
be part of it
To grasp me firmly
is not an option
But I want you
Even now I've had you
still I want you
Tempted to give
all this a name
As our dance moves
always one step
out of frame
If we can
choose our bruises
I've made my choice
Now I sing my own song
in my own voice
Though my tongue may
still be tied
In the end I will
be undenied
Oh I learned to
love from songs
If know I do it wrong
I learned to
love from songs
