Lyrics
I may seem like a river constant moving
And you like stone unchanged
My waters swirl in the shadows of your arching
Curling like a laughter (so) delightful and strange
You move onwards with your smooth certainty
And I dance skywards with a child like impertinence
And I am a boy, and you are a girl
And the magnetism's charge
Electrifies the world
I may fall but I know you will pick me up and
You will call empty and I know I will fill your cup... X 2
Years rush by in a flurry of expectancy
Days drift by in a dream
Who am I to say I'm anything but innocent
And you anyone else but who you seem
Truth lines your eyes in an aura of wisdom
And all I can see is myself in that mirror
And I am a boy, and you are a girl
And the magnetism's charge
Electrifies the world
I may fall but I know you will pick me up and
You will call empty and I know I will fill your cup... X2
We're two halves of the same shell
And we're two parts of the same spell
And love is a holy well
And sometimes it'll be empty but I know we will, we will, we will...
Fill it up
I may fall but I know you will pick me up and
You will call empty and I know I will fill your cup... X2
