Lyrics
TROPIC OF CANCER
Do you think about me?
Did you ever want to hold me in the rain?
Well, baby, I was drenched already,
Drowning in your seas.
Well, don't sail without me
Into your next lifetime,
'Cause in this one there must be a reason
My thoughts of you never cease -
To amaze me.
Trying to burrow my confessions in the sand--
These flustered feelings, only masked by my demands.
And if I'm burning up, the sun is not the cause;
I want to be captured in the palm of your claws.
Do you imagine crawling clear across my land?
Well, you don't have to give me an answer,
'Cause I do imagine you with me
In the Tropic of Cancer.
Your eyes are oceans;
I wanna tell you that they're beautiful,
But it makes no sense if I'm the one who's taken,
Just like the hourglass that seeps the grains of sand,
No matter how it's shaken.
How can we ever break this hourglass?
How much time in this one will surpass?
'Cause I am restless, like a lion:
I'm a fire on the ground.
If you quench me,
Don't unclench me,
'Cause I can't wait,
'Till our souls go one more time around.
Do you imagine crawling clear across my sand?
Well, you don't have to give me an answer,
'Cause I do imagine you with me
In the Tropic of Cancer.
