Volcano (1997 demo) Songtext
von Damien Rice

Don′t hold yourself like that
'Cause you′ll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
But that's all I need

Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down

And what I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I asked for the sea

Don′t throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth, your back
Is that all you need?

Don′t drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down


And what I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains, and I'll ask

For what I give to you is just what I′m going through
This is nothing new
No, no, just another phase of finding what I really need
Is what makes me bleed, but like a new disease
My Lord, she's still too young to treat

What I am to you is not real (volcanoes melt you down)
What I am to you, you do not need (volcanoes melt you down)
What I am to you is not real (volcanoes melt you down)
What I am to you, you do not need (volcanoes melt you down)

What I am to you is not real (volcanoes melt you down)
What I am to you, you do not need (volcanoes melt you down)
What I am to you is not real (volcanoes melt you down)
What I am to you, you do not need (volcanoes melt you down)

What I am to you is not real (I kissed your mouth and back)
What I am to you, you do not need (I kissed your mouth and back)
What I am to you is not real (I kissed your mouth and back)
What I am to you, you do not need (I kissed your mouth and back)
You do not need me
