[Verse 1]
Dancing with our eyes closed
As elation wrapped around every part of me
Hopped up on some shit we found on the street
Your trousers caught on fire by your cigarette
I don't know if I was laughing or crying
As we ran all the way home back to our sheets
[Chorus]
Oh, how beautiful
The push and the pull
Of a warm embrace
And how delicate
The eyes desolate
In a lover's face
[Verse 2]
Getting out of town I hitched a ride with a carpenter
He dropped me off at the coastline where I slept
And morning came with children
And the laughter of the seagulls in the lighthearted haze
As I drifted under the water to be swept away
[Chorus]
Oh, how beautiful
The push and the pull
Of a breathing day
And how delicate
The lamp desolate
In a quiet place
[Bridge]
The sad simple truth
No matter what you do
Some things always remain
The sad thing to know
No matter where you go
You will still feel the same
[Chorus]
But how beautiful
The push and the pull
Of a human race
And how delicate
The heart, desolate
Gone without a trace
But how beautiful
The push and the pull
Of a human race
And how delicate
The heart, desolate
Gone without a trace
