Did We Not Choose Each Other Lyrics - Singles - Sophie B. Hawkins

I'm a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place 

You've launched a secret heart with your face 

You don't always say what I want to hear but you move me 

Across the rooftops and into the deep blue sea 

Did we not choose each other? 

Are we just heroes for a day? 

This time I will stand by you 

And mine is the heart I will save, yeah 

I drew a hard line but I just can't see it 

Your colors are bleeding all over my bullshit 

I wanna be your star but I gotta learn to feel myself 

I want your love and I need your help 

Did we not choose each other? 

Are we just heroes for a day? 

This time I will stand by you 

And mine is the heart I will save 

Can we not judge each other? 

I'd rather wipe your tears away 

I can follow my heart till the end 

But I just can't choose the way 

Just because we live like dolphins together 

So many reasons to break the wave 

We can swim from street lamp to street lamp forever 

We can be kissing in the rain 

Can we not judge each other? 

I'd rather wipe your tears away 

I can follow my heart till the end 

But I just can't choose the way 

Listen baby, listen baby don't you do me wrong 

I can make my bed, you can sing your song 

Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine 

If it's the truth you seek then darlin' love you'll find 

I don't wanna, I don't wanna take your pain away 

Isn't yours to give, isn't mine to save 

Here's my heart, here's my hand, here's my soul 

Take it in, take it apart, take it easy, let it go 

Listen baby, listen baby don't you do me wrong 

I can make my bed, you can sing your song 

Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine 

If it's the truth you seek then darlin' love you'll find 

I don't wanna, I don't wanna take your pain away 

Isn't yours to give, isn't mine to save 

Here's my heart, here's my hand, here's my soul 

Take it in, take it apart, take it easy, let it go 

Listen baby, listen baby don't you do me wrong 

I can make my bed, you can sing your song 

Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine 

If it's the truth you seek then darlin' love you'll find 

I don't wanna, I don't wanna take your pain away 

Isn't yours to give, isn't mine to save 

Here's my heart, here's my hand, here's my soul 

Take it in, take it apart, take it easy, let it go
