Jars Of Clay lyrics - Mirrors And Smoke

album: Good Monsters (2006)
genre:

I'm feeling older than my years 
I'm feeling pain inside my chest 
It's love that keeps me silent 
It's my silence that you detest 
Rivers flow into the oceans 
And oceans never fill 
I want to kiss your lips, but I know I never will 

Love's a hard decision to risk impending choke 
But love will keep you wishing 
And my heart will keep me broke 

I blew flowers, gave you candy to even out the guilt 
I sent you greeting cards with messages that I could never write 
Rivers flow into the oceans 
And oceans never fill 
I want to let you know me 
But I know I never will 

Love's a contradiction 
Many mirrors and smoke 
Love will keep you wishing 
My heart will keep me broke 

You will always want me 
And I'll always want to leave 
Even though I cut your wounds 
You still deny they're real 
Rivers flow into the ocean 
Oceans never fill 
I want to lay my life down 
But I know you never will 

Love's a strange condition 
With all the doubts it can invoke 
You love keeps me wishing 
And my heart keeps me broke 

Baby, don't you cry, 'cause I got it all figured out 
You always make me sad 
But that's what true love is all about 
Rivers never fill the oceans 
But oceans always feel 
The waters reaching deep inside them 
I guess they always will 

Love's a constant mission to a world you never spoke 
Love, it keeps you wishing 
My heart, it keeps me broke … 

Mirrors and Smoke
