Did We Not Choose Each Other

Sophie B. Hawkins

I'm a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place


You've launched a secret heart with your face


You don't always say what I want to hear but you move me


Across the rooftops and into the deep blue sea





Did we not choose each other


Are we just heroes for a day


This time I will stand by you


And mine is the heart I will save





I drew a hard line but I just can't see it


Your colors are bleeding all over my bullshit


I wanna be your star but I gotta learn to feel myself


I want your love and I need your help





Did we not choose each other


Are we just heroes for a day


This time I will stand by you


And mine is the heart I will save





Can we not judge each other


I'd rather wipe your tears away


I can follow my heart til the end


But I just can't choose the way





Just because we live like dolphins together


So many reasons to break the wave


We can swim from street lamp to street lamp whatever


We can be kissing in the rain





Can we not judge each other


I'd rather wipe your tears away


I can follow my heart til the end


But I just can't choose the way





Listen baby listen baby


Don't you do me wrong


I can my my bed


You can sing your song


Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine


If it's truth you seek


Then darling


Love you'll find


I don't wanna


I don't wanna


Take your pain away


It isn't yours to give


It isn't mine to save


Here's my heart


Here's my hand


Here's my soul


Take it in


Take it apart


Take it easy


Let it go
