I left my girl at the top of the stairs Tears in her eyes, hands in her hair Brushed myself down like I don't care Force a smile, get out of there
Now all the casual cruelty, Hardly seemed so wrong Those twists of the knife How easily forgiven, well...
It's just one kiss, to build our dreams upon It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon
Elemental force of nature, I fall into your eyes As you rush through the veins I tear, soothe, all that I despise Your fragile brutality, our centrifugal pain Draws the breath right out of me, to pull us round again
Please keep me with you, safe, my love 'cos we will meet again before the end
I met my girl by the ringroad, Head in my hands, She said "I love you but I'll hurt you", I said "I understand", And I cherish that malignancy, In every part of me, We the willing amputees, Over and over and over and over and over and over again, Until the end
Just one kiss to build our dreams upon, It's just one kiss, to build a dream upon, It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon, It's just one kiss, to build a dream upon, It's just one kiss to build our dreams upon
