No Devotion - Why Can't I Be with You lyrics

[Verse 1] You're a fire and you're careless You keep burning down our dreams I'm a shadow, running blind I can feel you in the heat To the river, run me to the river And the night is a coffee cup Dark licorice line that's been wired to the street I can feel it in my teeth To the river, run me to the river From the rivers and the reeds and the burning waters Past the nightmare streets and forgotten borders With the whispers and the waves and the silent offers I've been there, so why can't I be with you? [Verse 1] To the river, run me to the river From the rhythm and the rage and the lonely corners Past the blinding scenes that were falling forward With the shivers and the shakes when the fever breaks I've been there, so why can't I be with you?
