I'm no fortune teller
Be my witness walking blind
Talk me through this
For my love
She bears no empty gesture
Reaching deeper for the right line
Down and feather
for my love
For my love
I'm defector for my love
Crown and sceptre
There's no ordinary way to say it,
When the right words won't flow,
I know broken bones don't come close
It's there in the soil beneath our feet, left behind
I started to see you in her eyes
Now I know she's mine oh,
I didn't want to believe it
And I didn't wanna release myself,
but now I'm preaching lessons
For my love
For my love
I'm defector
For my love
Crown and sceptre
Oh
I'm peering through cracks
Searching for you and me you and me
Oh
We squeezed through the gaps
Walking a history history
Didn't want to see it
now technicolor rains down on me
and I'm in
Deep 'n' heavy
For my love
