"Faithfully Dangerous" lyrics

"Faithfully Dangerous"

Your paint dries, the canvas smiles
With two eyes you lift yourself up
Stroke your skin, there are teeth marks to be sure
Maybe we're best close to the ground
Maybe angels drag us down
I wonder which part of this will leave the scar

Dip your hands in colours
While the young night flutters in on you
And finger paint me pictures of all you see
No matter what they say
You'll always be
Faithfully dangerous
Lost and lovely
So beautiful to me
I'm not too blind to see

Red is blood. Black is sky
White's the dove that longs to fly
You set it free and it beats its wings in me
It leaves us at a loss for words
Is that me now in your arms?
We cradle together and fall down on our knees

Let the whole world drift downstream
We'll always be different
Swim the silent slipstream inside of me
No matter what they say
You'll always be
Faithfully dangerous
Lost and lovely
So beautiful to me
I'm not too blind to see

Red is blood. Black is sky
White's the dove that longs to fly
You set it free and it beats its wings in me
It leaves us at a loss for words
Is that me now in your arms?
We cradle together and fall down on our knees

Dip your hands in colours
While the young night flutters in on you
And finger paint me pictures of all you see
No matter what they say
You'll always be
Faithfully dangerous
Lost and lovely
So beautiful to me
I'm not too blind to see

Red is blood. Black is sky
White's the dove that longs to fly
You set it free and it beats its wings in me
It leaves us at a loss for words
Is that me now in your arms?
The heart that beats is yours inside me
The heart that beats is yours inside me
The heart that beats is yours inside me

Red is love
Black is night
I'm drunk with angels taking flight
The heart that beats is yours inside me
The heart that beats is yours inside me
The heart that beats is yours inside me
The heart that beats is yours inside me
The heart that beats is yours inside me
The heart that beats is yours inside me
The heart that beats is yours inside me
The heart that beats is yours (inside me)
