You Are
(Stephen Duffy)

You film the dark in technicolor
And I’ll be wrapped around your finger,
If you’ve a lesson you can teach my heart
You rescued me out of a lake
So deep and dark with my mistakes,
That I get wet whenever we’re apart.
You are more than what I bargained for.

You are my guiding star, you are, that’s what you are.
You are my shangri-la, you are, that’s where you are.

Did I pretend to crave their souls,
To serve while kissing all their holes,
Did I pretend to be their truest friend?
Another string, a bow of sin, my heart a silent violin,
At least you made me tune it in the end.
You are more than what I bargained for,

You are my guiding star, you are, that’s what you are.
You are my shangri-la, you are, that’s where you are.

And if you want to run away for the day,
I will stay by your side.
But if you want to leave me here,
Well there my dear,
I won’t fear suicide.

More than I bargained for

You are my guiding star, you are, that’s what you are.
You are my shangri-la, you are, that’s where you are
You are my guiding star, you are, that’s what you are.
You are my shangri-la, you are, that’s where you are
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
You are
