Broken Shells

Carice Van Houten


When you opened the door
My heart fell right on the floor
It burst just seeing you

I picked you uo from the ground
Like broken shells that I found
Worn out by the shore

Follow me down to the arms of the night
New life's been born out of lover's delight
There we will hide with you by my side

There at the break of the day
The fire's fading away
Dark is the spark I once wore

I guess we knew all along
Our luck would go south in a song
And love turned hope into a whore

Follow me down to the arms of the night
New life's been born out of lover's delight
There we will hide with you by my side

When you release your hand from my chest
It's how I remember it best
My heart just stops
I can't breathe
When you touch me again
I feel the rain and the wind
The sunshine from your eyes
Makes it all live again

There we will hide
