Lyrics

You and I were once a force of nature
An endless rushing whirlwind of desire
You'd crawl over broken glass to get your hands on me
For you I'd swim through a sea of fire

But ever since that one perfect night when
You dared to give voice to that word
You've ever so slowly been trying to back away
But I know I heard what I heard

Don't send me postcards from Shangri-La
Then tell me it doesn't exist
I know you have a wife and a family
But you find me too hard to resist

Too many nights I stared out motel windows
Wondering if the real you would show
Maybe you prefer self-delusion
But the truth is we know what we both know

I refuse to be something you can lock away
In some closet your conscience allows
Don't even try to punish me for the choices you made
Or the passion I arouse

Don't send me postcards from Shangri-La
Then tell me it doesn't exist
I know you have a wife and a family
But you find me too hard to resist
It shakes you down to your foundation
To find yourself lost in my eyes
Don't deny what you feel, you can't change what is real
By saying it's all in my mind
