Jonah

歌詞

Jonah fell in love in a foreign town With defenses down, he wanted to be good But Jonah gets in trouble like a bullet to a gun She had nowhere to run, so she froze where she stood And he trembled at her touch as she kissed his weary back They both would take turns dying for a love that couldn't last Somehow I'll get through the winter Somehow my lying will decay Somehow I'm gonna make all the money back And somehow I'm gonna make you stay Jonah made a pact with the California sun And the beauty he had won, it needed the sea But Jonah tends to overwhelm like storms to a bird And she had already heard, still she followed his lead But the sky would open up, undo secrets of the past They both would take turns dying for a love that couldn't last Somehow I'll get through the winter Somehow my lying will decay Somehow I'm gonna make all the money back And somehow I'm gonna make you stay Coal won't heat an empty room without a flame And rock won't turn to diamond till it's time All the kisses in the world won't soften bite And trees that grow up side by side will intertwine Now the ending of this tale is something only two can send When the story travels by the mouth, lies will surely bend Neither one was beaten, and neither one beat up But they both now carry scars from the fire that they touched And if you take it to the page, they won't answer, do not ask The name and face of all now wear a heavy altered mask Alleviate the dying of a love that couldn't last, saying Somehow I'll get through the winter Somehow my lying will decay Somehow I'm gonna make all the money back And somehow I'm gonna make you stay Somehow I'll get through the winter Somehow my lying will decay Somehow I'm gonna make all the money back And somehow I'm gonna make you stay Somehow I'm gonna make you stay
