When you see the fool's gold
You'll always pursue
Isn't that part proving true?
And then you wake up
To symphonic tunes
Even as you feel the blues
'Cause you feel the waves
Upon your skin
But love just won't let you in
You feel the sparks
But you know their fate
When you open up your arms it's already way too late
And as you turn your head around to find a new direction
You realise you've looked this way before
Always tumbling down the side of the same old mountain
You know what future has in store (but you find you don't care)
'Cause you feel the waves
Upon your skin
But love just won't let you in
You feel the sparks
But you know their fate
When you open up your arms it's already way too late
'Cause you'd rather be burnt than to live in the shadows
You'd rather set your soul alight
But when the flames surround you - it's way too hard to swallow
You're suffocating, you want to set it right
You feel the waves
Upon your skin
But love just won't let you in
You feel the sparks
But you know their fate
When you open up your arms it's already way too late
'Cause you feel the waves
Upon your skin
But love just won't let you in
You feel the sparks
But you know they'll fade
When you open up it's way too late
