Lyrics:

No, don't let this heart beat slow
I'll run to your house, I'll kiss your door

Dreams, there are dreams on the screen today
Gone are the screams, they've taken them all away
Truth is the date on the page today
What's left to learn now fiction is all the rage?

By the dim light of a candle
I see your picture it's hung on the wall
There's a strange face at the window
You're not the girl that you were

You keep your heart in a velvet box
In a room within a house without a door
When I call I will find it locked
With a key you threw away forevermore

Only this heart beats slow

Words, only thoughts that your lips have shaped
Sold to the world, a language I've learned to hate
Wait, shall we wait till the sands run out
Time, time will tell, that's something I'm sure about

By the dim light of a candle
I see your picture it's hung on the wall
There's a strange face at the window
You're not the girl that you were

You keep your heart in a velvet box
In a room within a house without a door
When I call I will find it locked
With a key you threw away forevermore

You keep your heart in a velvet box
In a room within a house without a door
When I call I will find it locked
With a key you threw away forevermore

Only this heart beats slow
No, don't let this heart beat slow
I'll run to your house, I'll kiss your door
