Lyrics Love Lies - Josh Pyke

Love Lies

Summer salted all our winter wounds
And pressed them cool against the tiles
Keep your heat when seasons die
And darken like the night
Unfold this day into a paper crane
And fold the wings from my desires
Courage can be written down
And practiced like a lie
I followed my longing to feel something new
My love, it followed me
Right back to you
Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine
I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye
In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find
Love lies
Summer tried to drown my shadow in the sea
But my shadow swims along beneath
And mirrors me on blackened shores
Our darkness never leaves
I followed my longing to feel something new
My love, it followed me
Right back to you
Well I trace the map in the curve of your spine
I get lost by the hour in the blink of your eye
In the shadowed valleys of your backbone I find
Love lies
So I followed my longing
My longing won’t die
I’m still tracing the map in the curve of your spine
And the shadows are lengthening into the night
Well, love lies
