Live to Tell the Tale Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is the room where we always dreamed of grass and splendid evenings
Emitting frequencies, lost between the leaves and things
And I held on brightly, crashing quietly
Feeling mountains rising out of make-believe seas, creating typhoons
Of feelings not easily made without need
[Hook]
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you
Whatever happens to me
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
[Verse 2]
The whole slew blossomed beautifully
And I was beside myself
So I gave into your love
As you rapturously commanded
And this is like I have always dreamed:
Cobblestone and dusty feet
That's the way it should always be
Head over heels and deftly
Wonderful and healthy
This is the room where we always dreamed of grass and splendid evenings
Emitting frequencies, lost between the leaves and things
And I held on brightly, crashing quietly
Feeling mountains rising out of make-believe seas, creating typhoons
Of feelings not easily made without need
[Hook]
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you
Whatever happens to me
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
[Verse 2]
The whole slew blossomed beautifully
And I was beside myself
So I gave into your love
As you rapturously commanded
And this is like I have always dreamed:
Cobblestone and dusty feet
That's the way it should always be
Head over heels and deftly
Wonderful and healthy
[Hook]
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you
Whatever happens to me
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
[Bridge]
I never thought you were here
You've never left me, have you?
You've never left me at all
Not once, and
I'm sorry I'm such a boor
I'm sorry I am so hard
I swear to God, I'll be good
From now on, and
[Hook] x2
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you
Whatever happens to me
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you
Whatever happens to me
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
[Bridge]
I never thought you were here
You've never left me, have you?
You've never left me at all
Not once, and
I'm sorry I'm such a boor
I'm sorry I am so hard
I swear to God, I'll be good
From now on, and
[Hook] x2
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you
Whatever happens to me
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
