Lyrics
CRUSHING
I wish it were big talk - just you dreaming
But your ambitions are birds in flight
You don't confine yourself to cages
You're seeing a distance out of sight
At the same time you are professing love
You give it to me deep - in the night
It seems that we harvest straight from the soul
Your attaching eyes are holding tight
So all your leaving talk is hurting
The love you set alight is turning
You're crushing me - you are crushing me
Here I am the company guy
I'm a star ascending I'm held up high
If I stick around this town long enough
I'll want for nothing in a very short time
But you got the talk to burst my bubble
There's foreign speaking in your ear
And wines and spices on your tongue
So the sound of planes I cannot bear
So all your leaving talk is hurting . . .
Cause we've been to places no earthly scene can emulate
Now you wanna see the world and leave our love here up to fate
You crush me with far seeing eyes
You crush me with your foreign ties
You say that we'll meet up again
But I doubt you can burn an eternal flame
