[00:09.63] Your life, back in a banner year.
[00:11.97] A blast of light, a brace of cheers.
[00:18.88] A house of wild accolades
[00:21.59] Evaporating on an August night
[00:28.05] I'm looking out into the sound,
[00:30.93] I'm breathing deep, I'm turning around.
[00:36.33] I'm saying,
[00:38.08] 'Do you want to swim out to that island?'
[00:45.68] I'm thinking,
[00:47.18] Touch my wrist - it's shaking
[00:48.99] Just like someday baby when we're older.
[00:55.06] I'm wishing
[00:57.01] Cash will be inside our kisses,
[00:58.80] Someday, maybe, baby when I'm gold.
[01:05.66] Your hair is thin and light
[01:07.76] As a white forest fire in summertime.
[01:15.13] Your throat, where it's exposed, looks like a crime,
[01:18.47] I'll sneak-up slow and whisper quiet.
[01:24.43] Your pretty face looks like an island
[01:27.05] Rising from a sea that's slowly drying.
[01:32.10] When I'm saying,
[01:34.19] 'Do you want to sail out in the silence?'
[01:40.42] I'm asking,
[01:43.54] 'Will you come over here and do me violence?'
[01:52.61] Press your ear up to my wrist
[01:54.90] The blood is racing some way, going wherever,
[02:00.61] I'm saying,
[02:02.28] 'Will you stand up tall and be my shelter?'
[02:11.94] How will we go, what do you think?
[02:23.13] Into the dust? Into the drink?
[02:30.33] You slipped your fears into my head,
[02:32.29] Some midnight freeway ride along with Jennifer.
[02:39.79] Hotels, jails, hospital details.
[02:42.19] The highway hugs the water.
[02:48.78] I had to cross a field of screaming fire
[02:51.97] To see the moonlight on the river.
[02:56.11] I'm saying,
[02:58.51] 'Do you want to come and make me shiver?'
[03:04.99] I'm thinking,
[03:07.78] Squeeze my arm and feel it pull away like
[03:11.22] Someday, baby, when we differ.
[03:35.76] I'll tell you what I didn't say.
[03:37.67] I'll tell you about the way I really miss him.
[03:45.13] You tell them what you want to tell them.
[03:47.52] Tell them about the way you really loved her.
[03:54.24] And we'll shake it, shake it,
[03:56.26] Shake it off, and take another,
[04:03.72] Cause no one, no one
[04:06.53] Is gonna stop me
[04:08.28] From loving my brother,
[04:13.31] Cause no one, no one
[04:15.43] Is gonna stop me
[04:17.37] From loving my brother,
[04:22.93] No one, no one
[04:24.49] Is gonna stop me
[04:26.70] From loving my brother,
[04:32.32] No one, no one
[04:34.13] Is gonna stop me
[04:36.00] From loving my brother,
[04:41.78] No one, no one
[04:43.59] Is gonna stop me
[04:45.49] From loving my brother,
[04:49.94] Not even my brother
[04:55.68]
