You can talk to me about powder kegs
And how I'm sitting on one right now
You can warn me about candles
And whole things burning from the outside in
But don't tell me about true love
'Cause I don't think you really know
You need to pay the costs
You need to feel the loss
'Cause love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free
Talk to me about appearances
I tell you lately they mean less and less
Do your best to keep me occupied
It's hard to concentrate, I must confess
Don't you tell me about heartbreak
'Cause it ain't written in the stars
You need to pay the costs
You need to feel the loss
'Cause love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free
Alright, you got me
Don't you worry 'bout my baby
Her eyes are open all the time
I could never bear to see her
Much less remove her from my mind
I didn't talk to you about true love
I didn't think you'd understand
You need to pay the costs
You need to feel the loss
'Cause love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free
Love is expensive and free
Can you make it easier for me to understand
How you're holdin' my heart
In your tremblin' hands
I say rise to meet me halfway up among the stars
You may be from Venus, but I'm definitely not from Mars
Chorus:
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down
What's the commotion?
I'm an island, but you're an ocean
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion
You've got me suspended motionless inside
Make the warm winds circle round my head just like you do
If I could do it, I could turn it to you
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me
Nothin' in my life ever came with a guarantee
Chorus
I believe I'd buy whatever you would sell to me
Nothin' in my life ever came with a guarantee
Chorus
You've got me suspended motionless
You've got me suspended motionless inside
