Give me my wings tonight, I might not fly
Give me a voice tonight, I might just sing
Give me your lips tonight, I'll kiss you back
In your arms tonight, and I won't run

Tangled in sheets tonight, don't speak those words
On your own tonight, might think you've heard it
Played on the radio, before you wrote it
Singing someone else to sleep

Yeah you speak in words
But you speak in rhymes
And it's careless
Sooner or later love
We'll settle in for good
And I'll keep the lines that you forget

I know what lies behind your well-kept thoughts
I know what makes you tick
You're still waiting for an angel to help you out of this
What about me?

Yeah you speak in words
But you speak in rhymes
And it's careless
I was racing to reach it
Counting my days
Cause I take it all to heart

Settle down love
Settle down love
Settle down love

Yeah you speak in rhymes
But you speak in words
And I've heard worse
I've heard worse
