Lyrics

[00:08.74] album:albertin
[03:12.39][00:02.41] brooke frase-the thief
[00:11.59][00:01.36]
[00:11.75] your eyes are full
[00:15.96] full of the future of us
[00:21.61] the air changes as you look across
[00:28.02] at me in that wondering way
[00:33.88]
[00:36.47] it is as if
[00:40.46] i knew you before we spoke
[00:46.38] do our hearts know something we don't?
[00:52.40] converging, conspiring, without giving us any say
[01:02.70]
[01:03.09] you sing me to sleep
[01:07.37] talk down my walls
[01:10.79] look through my windows as i wait
[01:16.71] you could be the thief
[01:19.49] i give the key to
[01:25.42]
[01:26.01] you're ruining me
[01:29.10] with secrets and gestures and looks
[01:34.93] with sonnets in second-hand books
[01:40.87] playing the chords in me nobody knew how to play
[01:50.21]
[01:51.73]
[01:52.61] you sing me to sleep
[01:56.55] talk down my walls
[01:59.90] look through my windows as i wait
[02:05.73] you could be the thief
[02:09.34] i give the key to
[02:12.40]
[02:14.96] it fits in your hand like the water in rain
[02:21.48] unlocks our two different selves
[02:25.02] and shows we are the same
[02:28.13] rather than wait til i
[02:30.91] put me out for the taking
[02:34.50] you're breaking
[02:40.08] you're breaking into my heart
[02:46.58] and i'm letting you
[03:00.77][02:52.01]
[03:01.58] your eyes are full
[03:04.26] full of the future of us...
[03:10.18]
