somehow

Angus & Julia Stone

I tell you that I want you
That I ve loved you for so long now
I stand before you
My eyes, they fall to the ground
I am a coward here
In these feelings I ve found

But I want to be braver
I won t play you like a card in my hand
I want to be real
So you know where I stand

Somehow
This day is not mine to break
And I must learn now
There are some things I cannot take

Somehow
This time is not mine to choose
And I must learn now
Sometimes it s okay to lose

Desire
It s burning my heart
Desire
It s tearing this old house apart

But it feels so good
It feels so bad
It feels so good
Why do I feel so sad?

I wouldn t change a thing
I don t need to survive
I wouldn t change a thing
I m gonna burn alive

I ll make you a tea now
You re folding your arms
I m feeling empty
I m feeling alarmed

But I m gonna stay right here
I have found something new
Out in the darkness all alone
But with the light of loving you

Somehow
This day is not mine to break
And I must learn now
There are some things I cannot take

Somehow
This time is not mine to choose
And I must learn now
Sometimes it s okay to lose

Desire
It s burning my heart
Desire
It s tearing this old house apart

But it feels so good
It feels so bad
Darling, it feels so good
Why do I feel so sad?

I wouldn t change a thing
I don t need to survive
I wouldn t change a thing
I m gonna burn alive

I wouldn t change a thing
I don t need to survive
I wouldn t change a thing
I m gonna burn alive
