One of a Kind

We go out like air-deprived flames in a jar Bottled up, but hopeful for the heat A summer's flash A dance in the street So, call me out by name Cause this wild heart can be tamed And I'll hold you close - so closely Shake my soul off the Richter Technicolor, bigger picture When the static's clean I could let go But there's so much I want to know You burn so bright with your blue eyes aglow I've fallen inside Glistening and beaded on your back Your arms outstretched in your prowess For silent attacks Call me out by name Cause this wild heart can be tamed Change the channel We're starting over Drop the anchor So I can hold you Life is fragile Our dreams unravel in a sad exposé You know better than to feel my pain Better you should know to feel ashamed If it's hard enough for you, my child To look me in the eye Cause if honesty ain't your best policy I damn sure am gonna tell you goodbye This heart is worse for wear I'm only here, not there If you want me, got to know (I gotta know) You lead me on with those innocent eyes You shut me down when I try to take my prize Don't I love you all the ways that I should And don't I keep you satisfied? We communicate, but then you subjugate All of the things I have to say This heart is worse for wear I'm only here, not there If you need me, got to know (I gotta know) You're bad news and I'm the war But I won't make your headlines no more You're bad news and I'm the war But I won't settle any of your scores One of a Kind There's a row of cars in this heatwave But you condition my air The evening sun strobes hot on the dash Neutrons change with every flash And you're here with me There's nowhere I'd rather be I knew when we met your loving would set me free I'm free People come and go but girl I know you're staying Think of all the foolish games we could otherwise be playing It's one thing to say good love is hard to find But quite another of a love that is one of a kind You leave me breathless in open air You get me restless in this bed we share Everything is nothing short of amazing And I believe it's in the seasons - Even when they change, I know we're the same You're still here with me There's no one I'd rather see I knew when we met your loving would set me free I'm free There ain't a day that I don't feel so lucky There ain't no inch of you I haven't studied And honest as the day is long The best of you will always inspire my sweetest songs (One of a kind) Our love is one of a kind (One of a kind) Our love is one of a kind (One of a kind) Our love is one of a kind It must have been in a dream The first time I saw your face The sun and the stars were out at once As if the atmosphere had been erased And at the risk of being forward There was a little girl there with your eyes Piling sand upon your knees Laughing otherwise My heart ignites at the hint of a spark I'm a fool's rewrite that's read in the dark But I photograph much better next to you And I don't put my dreams first anymore Cause I've finally learned what our kisses are for Oh Elizabeth I'll love you till I'm bones You come on like a hurricane I weather winds and I wait for rain Finding peace in the comedy Pining for your soliloquy "So, come in for the kill," she said, "Hold me like I wanna be held, Cause all these rerun words, they're Making me swerve like a salesman Desperate to sell" We're gonna turn back the clocks tomorrow But there's so much more than daylight In the hour I've borrowed from you I'm not alone I'm not afraid of the dark There's more that I've been shown And I see more than just a spark You keep the beat of my heart Apart from the sand In a finite glass, in the palm of your hand So, I'm not alone - Not a chance I'm bouncing off of the walls like sonar I feel you, hear you coming closer Bouncing off of the walls like sonar (oh) I've been sitting here Still enough to feel the earth turn Calm is to disappear When we've got so much to learn And I know your hands could only call a truce Your inadvertencies would untie a noose And I'm not alone - Cause you cut me loose There's no job too small I'll come when you call I'm here through the thick and the thin of it So scream all you want It's me that you haunt And I would still love the ghost of you
