lyrics

Caught in a wave
So soft and safe
You’ve got your heart locked up

But now how I’ve come
Like the sound of a gun
It isn't enough
It isn't enough

You are the beginning
You are the end

Caught in my wake
So soft and safe
I’ve got you lost
I’ve got you locked up

And now we are one
Like the fire and sun
And, oh, what I’ve done
Oh, what have I done?

Oh, what a love that gives
And then taketh all away
Oh, what a man will do
When a man’s lost everything
When everything’s changed

You are the beginning
You are the end

Locked in a cage
Anchored and safe
You’ve got my heart locked up

Oh, now it comes
Like the sound of a gun
It isn’t enough
It isn’t enough
