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
Ill part with my heart for you
Ill 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
