lyrics

I don't wanna call you up
I don't wanna start a fire
Your friends say I’m no good
But they're all vampires
I’m living in between the words
Believing what I never heard
We speak so carelessly
And mountains fall

If you look through me
I’ll bend the light
I’m never enough
But I’m better than a lonely night

Oh no, you think I’m a loser
But you never heard a word I said
My love, the better cathedrals
They’re all in my head

I don't wanna build you up
I don't wanna break you down
You’re perfect just like that
Undiscovered
Look, I know every chapter
Of this book
It begins the moment that I kiss you
Then it falls apart
In the perfumed air

Ophelia’s down
She was such a bore
She wanted too much
But I want more, more, more

Oh no, you think I’m the answer
But you never heard a word I said
My love, the better cathedrals
They’re all in my head
Sometimes you say I’m a sinner
Another letter underneath your bed
My love, the better cathedrals
They’re all in my head
All in my head...

Walk awhile with me
Walk awhile with me
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
Walk awhile with me
To the sycamore tree
Then we won’t have to speak
Anymore, anymore now

Oh yeah, you think I’m your savior
But you never heard a word I said
My love, the better cathedrals
They’re in my head now
Oh no, you think I’m a villain
Something creeping underneath your bed
My love, the better cathedrals
They’re in your head now
They’re in your head now
They’re in your head
They’re in your head now
They’re in your head
