The Corrs - Talk on Corners

What Can I Do

I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we have talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make you care?
What can I say to make you feel this?
What can I do to get you there?

There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better
If I don't try and I don't hope

Chorus

No more waiting, no more aching
No more fighting, no more trying...

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly...

Chorus

Love me...

You're only just a dream boat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans 
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your tough is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep

And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow's disappeared
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm working through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge
But it's only when I sleep

It's reaching through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast
But it's only when I sleep

Up to the sky
where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian high
In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian high

We were taking it easy
Bright and breezy
We are living it up 
Just fine and dandy
We are chasing the moon
Just running wild and free
We are following through
Every dream, and every need

And it really doesn't matter that we don't eat
And it really doesn't matter that we don't sleep
It really doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all

Cos we were so young then
we are so young, so young now
And when tomorrow comes
we'll just do it all again

We are caught in a haze
Oh these lazy summer days
We're spending all of our ngihts just
a - laughing and kissing, yeah

No, it really doesn't matter if we don't sleep
No, it really doesn't matter if we don't sleep
It really doesn't matter at all...

Say it's true there's 
nothing like me and you
I'm not alone, tell me 
you feel it too

And I would run away
I would run away yeah
I would run away
I would run away
with you

Coz I am falling in 
love with you
No never I'm never
gonna stop
Falling in love with you

Close the door lay
down upon the floor
By candle light make love
through the night

Cause I have run away
I have run away yeah
I have run away run away
I have run away with you

Cause I have fallen
in love with you
No never I'm never
gonna stop 
Falling in love with you

You bored me with your stories
I can't believe that I endured you 
for as long as I did
I'm happy it's over, I'm only sorry
That I didn't make the move before you

And when you go I will remember
to send a thank you note to that girl
I see she's holding you so tender
Well I just wanna say

I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so glad that you're moving away

Valentine I don't think so
You watching MTV while I lie
dreaming in an MT bed
And come to think of it
I was misled
My flat my food my everything
And thoughts inside my head

Before you go I must remember
To have a quiet word with that girl
Does she know you're not a spender
Well I just have to say

I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so glad that you're moving away

And when you go I will remember
I must remember to say...
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
No, I didn't love you anyway
Never truly loved you anyway
I'm so happy you're moving away
Yeah, I'm delighted you're moving away

She drove a long way 
through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
for a dream misunderstood
and her friends they
talk on corners
they could never comprehend

But there was always 
something different 
in the way she held a stare
and the pictures that she painted
were of glamour and of flair
and her boyfriend though
he loved her
knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that
there's something more
No matter what it takes
No matter how she breaks
she'll be the Queen of Hollywood

And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
all believing in TV
They see their hand prints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine

Chorus

She's believing in a dream
It's a loaded fantasy

Now her mother collects cut-outs
and the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
Not so innocent a child

Opened my eyes today
And I knew there's
something different
Saw you in a brand new way
Like the clouds had
somehow lifted
And if yesterday I heard
Myself saying these words
I would swear it was a lie

I don't know why but
suddenly I'm falling
Was I so blind
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted

I'll make a wish this day
and I'll send it to the heavens
That we will always stay
Entwined like this forever
And though the world may change
Coz nothing stays the same
I know we will survive

I don't know why but
suddenly I'm faling
Was I so blind
I was loving you all the time
Now I'm hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Naturally we acted

Hopelessly addicted
Helplessly attracted
Chemically reacted
Naturally we acted

He's uncool an unsophisticat
He's a tightrope walker on an open path
He's a maze of curiosity
He is the living bread that cures my appetite

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep
When he's not around
Everyday is bluey gray
When he's not in town

His mystique is one of innocence
I feel I'm lounging in lovely in his big blue eyes
And I would be preening in paradise
If I were always beside him like a Siamese

Chorus

Can I keep him in my galaxy
Can he live within my fantasy

Chorus

Can I keep him in my galaxy
Can he live within my fantasy

ChorusI never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so glad that you're moving away

I see a home in a quiet place
I see myself in a strong embrace
And I feel protected from 
the human race
It's not parental

But it's a fantasy not a reality
And it's good for me you have no idea

That i'm walking in the clouds
when you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if 
you move beside me 
and you're all that I see
But it's no good for me

You have a home in a quiet place
And someone else feels your
strong embrace
She is protected and she
needs no chase
and do you love her???

You're a mystery, you are 
the heart of intrigue
You're no good no no 
good for me
You have no idea

Now she's walking through the clouds
with a circus mind
that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
and moonbeams and fairytales
All she ever thinks about is
Riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
with a thousand smiles
she gives to me free
It's alright it's alright she says
Take anything you want from me
Anything

Fly little wing...
