B-side from the "Hero EP", never released until now!
Note from Elly:
This was actually a favorite of mine and was supposed to be part of the "Hero EP" but I was influenced by a few opinions that stylistically this song didn't belong with the rest of the group. In retrospect I regret it because it is a great mix of elements: electro, balalaika, guitars, harpsichord etc. But here we are, and here it is, emerging from the vault, and into wide distribution later on.
lyrics
Heart is like a rover
I'm an open vein
Burning to discover
Love is just a flame
If you could surrender
Fall into the sea
I will be your mermaid
For eternity
Let me be your anchor
Or a guilded cage
You're my invitation
Beautiful and strange
So let me be your lover
Beautiful and strange
Beautiful and strange
But if I let you in
then maybe you would see
What's underneath my skin
and that would give you power over me
I've never loved before
and now you hold the key
So if you wanted more
That would give you power over me
Ah ah ah ah
We'll never be apart
I'm gonna wanna write
Da da da da
Your name across my heart
Till you and I collide
Ah ah ah ah
I am a shooting star
I'm gonna wanna write
Da da da da
Your name across the sky
Just like the Northern Lights
Let me be your story
Unexpected guest
Your memento mori
Arrow in my breast
Time to end your slumber
I'm an open book
Waiting to surrender
Hurting for a look
I can be your fortune
teach you how to sing
glow as if you're touching electricity
So hold me to my promise
Till it wears thin
Open uproar fortress
I am coming in
But if you let me in
Then I will go right through
Get underneath your skin
And that will give me power over you
Ah ah ah ah
We'll never be apart
I'm gonna wanna write
Da da da da
Your name across my heart
Till you and I collide
Ah ah ah ah
I am a shooting star
I'm gonna wanna write
Da da da da
Your name across the sky
Just like the Northern Lights
Oh, I have walked a winding road
I've been traveling towards your love
Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da
(Hey, hey, I love it)
Ah ah ah ah
We'll never be apart
I'm gonna wanna write
Da da da da
Your name across my heart
Till you and I collide
( Da da da da)
Ah ah ah ah
I am a shooting star
I'm gonna wanna write
Da da da da
Your name across the sky
Just like the Northern Lights
(Da da da da)
