lyrics:
We call each other crazy and we call each other names
Like batteries charging batteries we're just trying all the same
And nothing ever turned out quite as perfect as you planned
Always had the best intentions I knew you'd understand

But no-one can make you happy if not yourself
The sounds of sympathetic strings from songs on sympathetic wings
Illuminate the signs on life's highways
Then you drive the night away

I know I'm gonna meet my maker playing life like a game of chance
But our bodies are here to use up unless you had a different plan

And no one can truly love you if not yourself
The songs from sympathetic strings
Get lost on superficial things
Illuminate the lights and on our way

Then you drive, let me drive the night away
Getting lost

We can ask each other favours, we can't thank you all enough
All the words we need are laid out you can use them as a crutch
Like a modern Kane and Abel we just did the best we can
Only promise me you'll get out fooling us with your slight of hand

No-one can make you happy if not yourself
The sounds of sympathetic strings
Say the simplest of things
Illuminate the signs on life's highways

Then you drive, let me drive the night away
It's a superficial sting
Illuminate your life and on our way
Then you drive the night away.

I am so grateful that I became aware of you at the Hans Zimmer concert (Cologne)... love what I know of your music so far and am really excited for the new album. 🙂
