Volcano - Lyrics by Damien Rice


Lyrics

Don't hold yourself like that
Cos you'll hurt your knees
Well, I kissed your mouth and back
That's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down

And what I am to you, is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you, is not what you mean to me
But you give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea

Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth, your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around
Damn volcanoes melt me down

And what I am to you, is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you, is not what you mean to me
Give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask...

For what I give to you
Well, it's just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No no, just another phase of finding
What I really need is what makes me bleed
But like a new disease
Lord, she's still too young to treat

She's still too young (volcanoes melt you down)
What I am to you, is not real
What I am to you, you do not need

I kissed your mouth
You do not need me
