There at the back of your spine
That's where the feeling lies
When somehow your words hit like wine
And the feeling starts to rise
To my chest and my heart
And it tears me apart
It's no use, my best
When I try to protest
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
Then at the end of the day
When all the lonesome souls have gone away
You ask me to stay
Okay
But my skin, and your eyes
In the stillness of night
We fall in, and we lie
In the treehouse of youth we tried
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
If I was made for you
In falling the edges went askew
But maybe we could undo
Ourselves and start anew
But my hands say please
When I'm down on my knees
Then you look at me
And I see what we could never be
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
Now here it's clear in my mind
That here's where the feeling dies
