Verse 1

 An optimist heart is connected to a pessimist's mind

 A glitch in the matrix we secretly long to find

 Victims remain victims because they behave like victims

 I don't know how love came through me, I wore a bulletproof vest

Pre-chorus

The building dances like jelly just before it falls on top of me

The rubble shrouds my eyes with dust but is there light beyond there I can see?

Her fair hand touches all my poor weathered fingertips

Chorus

And you are the greatest gift that life could ever give a man, a man like me

And I've been in hibernation for way too long

Verse 2

 Seasonal affective drunken disorder

 Let's hide away in a European lagoon somewhere across the border

 I'll trade a kiss for a promise, a promise never cracked by dishonesty

Pre-chorus 2

(same as before)

The building dances like jelly just before it falls on top of me

The rubble shrouds my eyes with dust but is there light beyond there I can see?

Her fair hand touches all my poor weathered fingertips

Chorus 2

(same, with some Ds at the end before Bridge)

And you are the greatest gift that life could ever give a man, a man like me

And I've been in hibernation for way too long

Bridge

Come, take my hand, put on my coat, we'll shelter from rain

Under my fairy oak tree, I'll keep you warm

I’ll part with my heart for you

I’ll part with my heart for you

Pre-chorus 2

(same as before)

The building dances like jelly just before it falls on top of me

The rubble shrouds my eyes with dust but is there light beyond there I can see?

Her fair hand touches all my poor weathered fingertips

Chorus 2

And you are the greatest gift that life could ever give a man, a man like me

And I've been in hibernation for way too long

Hold on D
