Iris (Wide Winged Bird Version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We jumped straight into
The iris of the lake
You threw your arms around my neck, you knew
My heart was yours
My heart was yours
[Verse 2]
Stay up late into
The iris of the day
You said just one more cigarette, you knew
My heart was yours
My heart was yours
[Verse 3]
Man you change, you grew
You grew another face
You chewed my flesh and spit the taste, you knew
My heart was yours
My heart was yours
[Outro]
And everybody and I never knew before
You tell me what you needed and you need a little
You know that you a ten and it ain't you again
I know, I know, I know, oh
Oh everybody and I never knew before
You tell me what you needed and you want a little
You know you a da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
I know, I know, I know
