Verse 1
I'd like to say, I make good use of my time while you've been away.
And it's true, I've been at my piano everyday...thinking of you...
They talk around, I hear them whisper,
its the funniest thing really they, think you're gone forever.
I know the truth its just, getting hard to believe it...
and they all tell me its over, even the stars are alligned and I,
Chorus
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
the quicksand's pulling me down.
I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
the quicksand's pulling me down.
Verse 2
I'm not the same,
I can't sleep nights and now I'm calling your name when I do.
And yet without you they, say I get on better, and better, and better..
when they all tell me it's over,
I'll damn the gods until the stars are alligned, and I,
Chorus
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
the quicksand's pulling me down.
I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
the quicksand's pulling me down..

Bridge
Well look at my life and look at my face,
can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve?
So you're holding my hand and holding my heart,
but I just want to feel your breath inside me so I, can breathe.
Somewhere in the distance I catch a spark, a grace,
and hope for something that makes me feel like I'm alive.
It's never too soon, it's never too late, so I start screaming out, I,
see your face, I see your hand, reaching out, and I yell to you and I say:
Chorus
*guitar break in acoustic version(otherwise same as above)*
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in
the quicksand's pulling me down.
I follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me,
the quicksand's pulling me down
I follow the signs so clearly and still I fall in,
the quicksand's pulling me down
I know you can feel me rising and I'm on fire,
keep on pulling me out...out..
Look at my life and look at my face,
and look where I've come to get to this place with you...
Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms,
and listen to your heart beat...
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh.... x 4 (or as many as you like)
