Something To Live For Lyrics - Ed Harcourt

She's moving like a forest fire 

Leaving no part unscathed 

Too young to be as jaded as I am 

But old enough to feel the strain 

I hope that I can hold on to 

The beauty that I'll never match 

The never-ending open wound 

That started from a simple scratch 

I want to save us from being saved 

Before we get too old and waste away 

Like some lovers destined to die young 

And so through all the loss we've seen 

Of friends who sit and think too much 

Too fragile for the cold outside 

Too proud to say what's on their minds 

This is for the broken fools 

Whose flames are gone before their time 

And if you see me trip and fall 

Save me from my swift decline 

I want to sink beneath a drunken sea 

Look in your eyes when you take the breath from me 

There's always something to live for
