Jars Of Clay Album: Good Monsters Track: Mirrors & Smoke
Mirrors & Smoke Lyrics
I'm feeling older than my years I'm feeling pain inside my chest It's love that keeps me silent It's my silence that you detest Rivers flow into the oceans And oceans never fill I want to kiss your lips, but I know I never will
Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke But love will keep you wishing And my heart will keep me broke
I blew flowers, gave you candy to even out the guilt I sent you greeting cards with messages that I could never write Rivers flow into the oceans And oceans never fill I want to let you know me But I know I never will
Love's a contradiction Many mirrors and smoke Love will keep you wishing My heart will keep me broke
You will always want me And I'll always want to leave Even though I cut your wounds You still deny they're real Rivers flow into the ocean Oceans never fill I want to lay my life down But I know you never will
Love's a strange condition With all the doubts it can invoke You love keeps me wishing And my heart keeps me broke
Baby, don't you cry, 'cause I got it all figured out You always make me sad But that's what true love is all about Rivers never fill the oceans But oceans always feel The waters reaching deep inside them I guess they always will
Love's a constant mission to a world you never spoke Love, it keeps you wishing My heart, it keeps me broke ...
