Love Letters in Self-Defence

I write love letters in self-defence
I hope she hasn't read them yet
The birds never sing and the sun never shines romance
Yet here we are doing this dance

It's all a set-up, this moonlit night
Your lips your teeth your hair are a little too right

And I don't know if this is true
But my heart it knows it wants you
It wants you
Oh my heart it knows it wants you

The words you speak to me
Trembling and sincere
Shrouding fantasy with fear
The waves crashing on the beach
Conversations in the air
If they're not real then I don't care

The moon is a spotlight
And the sky an electronic screen
The couples here are actors
And the breeze is make-believe

And I don't know if this is true
But my heart it knows it wants you
It wants you
Oh my heart it knows it wants you

Life doesn't always follow your secret plans
So why not take a chance?

I write love letters in self-defence
Because I know what's coming next
The birds they will sing and the sun shine romance
And here we are doing this dance

It's all a set-up and nothing is what it seems
The couples here are actors
And the breeze is make-believe

And I don't know if this is true
But my heart it knows it wants you
It wants you
Oh my heart it knows it wants you
It wants you
Oh my heart it knows it wants you
It wants you
Oh my heart it knows it wants you
