Lyrics for Once Around the Block

You quiver like a candle on fire I'm putting you out Maybe tonight, we could be the last shout An' I'm fascinated by your style Your beauty will last for a while You're feeling instead of being The more that I live on the inside There's nothin' to give I'm infatuated by your moves I've gotta search hard for your clues I want to repair your desire And call it a gift That I stole from just wanting to live Now I see the vision through your eyes Your innocence no longer fuels surprise Tryin' to outrun your fear You're running to lose Heart on your sleeve And your soul in your shoes Take a left, sharp left And another left Meet me on the corner, we'll start again
