Baby it's a gate
it's a gate that's been closing
and I can't keep it open
no, I can't keep it open
Baby it's a stone
it's a stone that's been sinking
to the bottom of the ocean
and I can't keep it floating
Don't make me say words
don't make me say love
it's nothing you've been dreaming of
it's nothing you could dream of
it's more
Baby it's a hunter
who's been stalking where you're going
pulling back the bow and
letting go of the arrow
Baby it's a heart
that's been broken by the arrow
caving in the middle like she don't know what hit her
Don't make me say words
don't make me say love
it's nothing we've been dreaming of
it's nothing we could dream of
it's more
Where do we go from here
where do we go from here
where do we go
where do we go
Baby we are sinking
to the bottom of the ocean
to the bottom of the ocean
