Your eyes cast their nets and harvest the depths of my heart
My sigh, the last breath of this creature you’ve caught
I’m yours and you know it
Don’t send me out to sea, let me be

You pull me in, you push me out
Swinging my head through hypnotic doubt
I’m willingly swirling in your tide
Push me, pull me – why do I?

On your pendulum I balance the line of my affections
Too much, and I slide into you unprotected
This dangerous love
Propels me ever higher, makes me fly

You pull me in, you push me out
Swinging my head through hypnotic doubt
I’m willingly swirling in your tide
Push me, pull me – why?

All the worst, all the best, I’ve borne it all inside
In the sky and to the depths, you’ve taken me on such a ride
And it hurts more than I’m made to bear
I come again, once more you take me there

You pull me in, you push me out
Swinging my head through hypnotic doubt
I’m willingly swirling in your tide
Push me, pull me – why do I?
