Once for me love was the boat inside
Of a bottle, it felt like a gondola ride
When you float with the nicknacks, and you don't hear a sound
Where the fish never lived, and you don't miss the ground
And the moon hangs above like a valium pill
And I say I'll be fine, but I don't think that I will
But today I've got work, and I like it that way
It's a case of a still-life gone cinema verite
In love but not at peace
In love but not at peace.
And I still ned the beauty of words sung and spoken
And I live with the fear that my spirit will be broken
And that's way I thought it would be
And that's the way I always wanted it to be.
So I'll keep you wondering what time I'm arriving
You'll drive me crazy with your backseat driving
And I'll talk in my sleep, and you'll steal all the covers
We'll argue it out, and we'll call ourselves lovers
And I'll stay in my body, and you'll stay in your own
Cause we know that we're born and we're dying alone
So we turn out the lights while the sirens are screaming
And we kiss for the waking and then join the dreaming
In love but not at peace
In love but not at peace.
