Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I know I was treading water
And your baggage floated all around
There were no life rafts
Should I grab a suitcase?
It was sink or swim to higher ground
And I stretched between
Telling you everything
And nothing at all
ย
Delilah saw the yellow flowers before us
Just in case you didn't know
They rooted for me
Because I wore their colors
Told me not to linger
Just grow
And I'm glad us girls
Could get over Salem
And not divide each other
And not watch another fall
ย
And I deliver what I want you to see
Just like you have always done for me
But this can never be a war
The object of this game is to leave with equal score
And the moth and the streetlight
In their infinites
And Icarus shouted down from the clouds and the trees
Well he tried to warn them both
Be careful of the fire
Be careful of the air
For he will never tire
And see it rarely fair
Love's not the illusion of desire
Still he tried to break their stare
What choices will you make
He said with failure in his smile
Well I'm sure this beauty's fake
And I'm sure this love is vile
ย
But the moth just saw the fire
Beautiful fire
Kept her warm and was fuel for her dance
And the lamp marveled as she
Swam through the air
Is that something
Was that something
Maybe something there?
