Lyrics
Shaking hands, trembling lips, beating heart, tender kiss and her eyes roll back
The marble cracks
So here we are on the edge of a cliff
Do you want to jump?
Cause I want to jump.
How long can we keep floating here
An island in the sea?
CHORUS
Jessica, how long can I run into the fire alone?
Jessica, how long can I wait?
Jessica, how long can we keep on dancing in the shadows?
Jessica, how long must I make sculptures out of rain?
Jets in the sky, air is vibrating, earth shaking in the bed.
It's a little death.
Come take my hand, we will go where you've never been
Where the time stands still.
You will lose your will.
How long can we keep standing here?
There's a howling from the wind.
CHORUS
Oh, Jesse.
How long can we keep standing here?
There's a howling from the sea.
CHORUS
