Intro: x 2
Verse 1:
I made a rule about you, I made a plan
For getting my feet back on the ground.
Bury my face in clouds for hours on end,
But time only flies when you're around.
Bridge 1:
It was cold and dark the last time I saw you.
Your hair was long and falling in your eyes.
You said my hands were warm and that I was
Special to you.
Chorus:
Valentine,
You know that I'm fighting this love in vain.
The sun's been shining for a week,
But it just feels like rain,
Valentine.
I know you're not mine;
You're somebody else's flame,
But when those hearts and flowers fade,
Oh, my darlin', look my way, yeah.
Verse 2:
You say that it's complicated, but baby, you're wrong.
There's nothing more obvious to me
That we're on a trip together, 33,000 light years long, and
I'm hurting so bad 'cause you don't see.
Bridge 2:
The night you walked me home, I gave you a picture
Of Eden's trees falling to the ground.
And now I feel, I feel like you're a perfect
Stranger, without you.
Chorus:
Valentine,
You know that I'm fighting this love in vain.
The sun's been shining for a week,
But it just feels like rain,
Valentine.
I know you're not mine;
You're somebody else's flame,
But when those hearts and flowers fade,
(*)
Oh, my darlin', look my way...
(*) Solo:
Chorus (violin solo):
Valentine,
I know you're not mine,
And I don't know why you stay,
But when those hearts and flowers fade,
Oh, my darlin', look my way, yeah,
And I don't know why you stay,
But when those hearts and flowers fade,
Oh, my darlin', look my way, yeah...
