Alice Merton - Ignorance Is Bliss Lyrics

Alice Merton Lyrics

"Ignorance Is Bliss"

Oh, oh, oh, oh

As I drew your name on the water
Oh I threw my heart in the sand
If you saw what hides in the shadows
Would you try and understand?

Why do you stand there like a sculpture?
My hopes drown in the ocean
Breaks me when I look into your eyes
Your eyes

If ignorance is bliss
And all I get is this
Then I'm standing here
Right now, where I wanna be
The devil's in the kiss
If this is all it is
At least I got you right here where I wanna be

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

So I drew your name on the water
And I threw my heart in the sand
If you saw what hides in the shadows
Would you try and understand?

Why do you stand there like a sculpture?
My hopes drown in the ocean
Breaks me when I look into your eyes

If ignorance is bliss
And all I get is this
Then I'm standing here
Right now, where I wanna be
The devil's in the kiss
If this is all it is
At least I got you right here where I wanna be

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

If ignorance is bliss
And all I get is this
Then I'm standing here
Right now, where I wanna be
The devil's in the kiss
If this is all it is
At least I got you right here where I wanna be

Oooh oh ohh oh
Oooh ooh oh ooh ooh ooh ooh

The stakes are what it is
You'll be my greatest wish
The devil's in the kiss
The stakes are what it is
You'll be my greatest wish
The devil's in the kiss
