This world, this world
It isn't enough for me
When heaven is so out of reach
I see, I see
You love life more than me
It's never how it should be
I need, I need
You to tell me how to be
I'm painting the sky for you and me
So far, so far
I can taste it on your tongue
The words you've said and all the songs I've sung
Compare me to the sea
Drown in poetry
I'm on fire
Compare me to the sea
Drown in poetry
I'm on fire
Too late, too late
To live any other way
When all I have to give is company
I know, I know
I don't mind being on my own
If I'm not free then what is left of me
Compare me to the sea
Drown in poetry
I'm on fire
Compare me to the sea
Drown in poetry
I'm on fire
To give you everything's not what I want
When I'm living how I always knew I would be
To give you everything's not what I want
When I'm living how I should be
Compare me to the sea
Drown in poetry
I'm on fire
Compare me to the sea
Drown in poetry
I'm on fire
