Paddle my back Kiss me but don't tell We never seem to win I think It’s cause we keep Playing noughts and crosses I keep trying to swing low on this roller coaster love But you prefer hippy roads Undefined destinations Winter cold nights You're weary too much of the future And all the places you fear It may never take you But darling who needs chariots? When we could ride on trust On love My love we would ride longer If you linger on And quit playing these games You know I'll never win And even then yourself Let us find a common ground Make love until sun dawn Fall asleep in this warm comforter Then wake me up to feeling sick of your dark humor The ones you tell To make up for your sloppy sex But end up caught in your own Pool of misery Lost in your pile of cigarette You local man! But still I fall in love Over and over Over and over Over again 
Narrative We never really win or lose in the game of love, its either you love me or you don’t even want to try. Its either you fake it and lose or you don’t even want to try at all. It’s still good; you don’t have to, its love not war.

Paddle my back  
Kiss me but don't tell  
We never seem to win  
I think It’s cause we keep  
Playing noughts and crosses  
I keep trying to swing low on this roller coaster love  
But you prefer hippy roads  
Undefined destinations  
Winter cold nights  
You're weary too much of the future  
And all the places you fear  
It may never take you  
But *darling* who needs chariots?  
When we could ride on trust  
*On love*  
My love we would ride longer  
If you linger on  
And quit playing these games  
You know I'll never win  
And even then yourself  
Let us find a common ground  
Make love until sun dawn  
Fall asleep in this warm comforter  
Then wake me up to feeling sick of your dark humor  
The ones you tell  
To make up for your sloppy sex  
But end up caught in your own  
Pool of misery  
Lost in your pile of cigarette  
*You local man!*  
But still I fall in love  
*Over and over*  
*Over and over*  
*Over again*
