I got a hole in my pocket.

I got a tear in my heart.

I got a door I can't unlock it.

I live on shadows in the dark.

I hear the sound of a heartbeat

I hear a secret in the rain

It's like the kiss of a lover

It's like a stranger knows your name

I'm gonna rock on the water

I'm gonna dance in the club

I'm gonna lay down with the wind

I feel the swell of the tempest

Like there's a storm coming in

And the river's gonna run

I wanna walk on a wire

I wanna live when I die

I want to ride with the angels,

and leave my footprints in the sky,

and feel the star and hear my feet.
