Lyrics
Zero (throughout) My love, your eyes have never been bright Radiating through the night And they burn in you

My heart has always tended to be blue Though I think it's strange but true I think I'm finding I'm in love with you


 * Chorus:

But my stubborn heart is rusted in its place And all your shattered stars won't fill your outer space But if you rely on me, I’ll let my world remain in you Just promise all you say is true

My mind, how easily that you define Thoughts I only thought were mine Clearer in your view

Your smile, I spotted something in your smile Though I know it’s been awhile I get the feeling that you love me too


 * (Chorus)

My love is reeling slowly to the light Positively amplified Never wants to stop

Your smile, I spotted something in your smile Though I know it’s been awhile I get the feeling that you love me too


 * (Chorus)
