The Build Up

Went from cities to touch the suburbs
 On the highway, but I'm barefoot
 I need a map but not the destination
 Need a compass but not a conversation
 I want to run far from this grey town
 You're on every street, marked on the ground
 Not the meant and not the paint
 Want the price but not the raise
 I want the jump but not the height
 Let me fall but catch me mid flight
 I swam with sharks and beasts of the sea
 Only went down for the company
 Went down for the company
 I forgot to mention:
 That you would come back home when I call
 Left no sign, nothing at all
 Sorry you won't fit inside my heart
 I wanted love without the build up
 I need the rules but not the regulations
 Want the wisdom but not the information
 Need the light but not the heat of the day
 Need your hands to show me how to pray
 I lost the plot underneath the fire
 Of all the dots and lines that took me higher
 Away from traffic and smiles of tire
 I like the nights but not the tangled wires
 Need the pulse to feel alive
 All the world's just made it seem all quiet
 This has all become far too loud
 I like you more when you don't make a sound
 You will come back home when I call
 Left no sign, nothing at all
 Sorry you won't fit inside my heart
 Won't you come light the way and wash this away
 I wanted love without the build up
