She Moves On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel good, it's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts, the plane lifts
She moves on

[Verse 2]
Feel the bite whenever you believe
That you'll be lost and love will find you
When the road bends and the song ends
She moves on

[Verse 3]
I know the reason I feel so blessed
My heart still splashes inside my chest
But she, she is like a top, she cannot stop
She moves on

[Verse 4]
A sympathetic stranger
Lights a candle in the middle of the night
Her voice cracks, she jumps back
But she moves on

[Chorus 1]
She says "Ooh, my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power as you shortly will discover"
Then I fall to my knees, shake a rattle at the skies
I'm afraid that I'll be taken
Abandoned, forsaken in her cold coffee eyes

[Verse 5]
She can't sleep now, the moon is red
She fights a fever, she burns in bed
She needs to talk so we take a walk
Down in the moon light

[Verse 6]
She says maybe these emotions are as near to love as love will ever be
So I agree
Then the moon breaks, she takes the corner, that's all she takes
She moves on

[Chorus 2]
She says "Ooh, my storybook lover
You have underestimated my power, as you shortly will discover"
Then I fall to my knees, I grow weak, I go slack
As if she captured the breath of my voice in a bottle
And I can't catch it back

[Outro]
But I feel good, it's a fine day
The way the sun hits off the runway
A cloud shifts, the plane lifts
She moves on
