Lyrics

Life in a quiet town
I felt that I might drown
In obscurity
Like a hermit I always seem to be in bed
With stacks of books I should have read
Like Kerouac, Virginia Woolf and Genet
They seem to me the place to be
Is far away from hollow dreams
And satisfied with few and not the many
And you, you turned my world around, yeah
You, you turned me upside down, yeah
And everything that you do
And everything that you say
Just keeps me running to be right next to you
And every time that we meet
The earth moves under my feet
I melt in your body heat, I can't compete
Down from the barren slopes
To the plain below
Where the city sleeps
I took my two feet
They say tomorrow's all about
The mistakes we make and there's no doubt
That I have made so many I can't count them
Forget the past and move on fast
Away from dreams that never last
Forever gunning, forever running
And you, you turned my world around, yeah
You, you turned me upside down, yeah
And everything that you do
And everything that you say
Just keeps me running to be right next to you
And every time that we meet
The earth moves under my feet
I melt in your body heat, I can't compete
Oh, you're so sweet
With everything that you do
I'm not afraid what Virginia Woolf might do
And every word that you say
From the balcony, I'll throw Jean Genet
Everything that you do
Keeps me running to be right next to you
And everything that you say
Forever running, forever running
You, you turned my world around, yeah
You, you turned my world around, yeah
Just let us be
You, you turned my world around, yeah
You, you turned my world around, yeah
Just let us be
Just let us be
Just, just, just, just let us be
