The Swell Season - Fantasy Man lyrics

rate me

There's diamonds growing in the mountain

Beneath the pressure of all time

They grow in hope and expectation

Waiting for your hands to find

'Cause only you could reach inside me

And figure out the worth of a life

I lived providing what it was you needed most

And if everything is measured by the hole it leaves behind

Then this mountain has been leveled

And there's no more diamonds in the mine

Go on now

Just leave it

The timing wasn't right

And the force that swept us both away was too strong for us to fight

Oh

Da da da

Bum bum

Oh

Fantasy man

You are always one step ahead of me

Well I never heard the warning

I haven't got things right

Yet the sun came out this morning and filled my room with light

So go on now

You are forgiven

Let's put it down to life

The story of two lovers who danced both edges of the knife

In the station you're standing

Not knowing what you want

And the secrets we're defending have become our only bond

Just be patient while I wait here

Our journey is out of sync

While you're out there running in the chaos I need some time to think

Oh

Oh

Da da da

Bum bum

Oh

Fantasy man

You are always one step ahead of me

Well I never heard the warning

I haven't got things right

Yet the sun came out this morning and filled my room with light

So go on now

You are forgiven

Let's put it down to life

The story of two lovers who danced both edges of the knife

La da da

Da da da

Da da da da da

La da da

Da da da

Da da da da da
