where my heart was once a rock
it is softening to chalk
and i draw most every day
on the footpaths on my way to see you
where my brain was once a machine
it's a factory of dreams
that i live most every day
jumping 'cross clouds on my way to see you
i'm not quite the same, since you came along
i'm just a few shades darker and lighter
dimmer and brighter
i'm not quite the same since you came along
and i'm sure i'll change again
if you leave, my dearest friend
when i used to turn away
i smile at strangers
that i pass every day
i brighten the world on my way to see you
when i used to scream and run
now i try to sit down
and talk the tangles through
i make good use of my heart when i see you
i'm not quite the same, since you came along
i'm just a few shades darker and lighter
dimmer and brighter - inner and outer
i'm not quite the same since you came along
and i'm sure i'd change again,
should you leave, my dearest friend
cos where my heart was once a rock
it is softening to chalk.
