Volcano lyrics
Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth, and back
And that's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea
Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth, your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask
What I give to you is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new, no, no just another phase of finding
what I really need is what makes me bleed
( )like a new disease, Lord, she's still too young to treat
Volcanoes melt you down
She's still too young +what iam to you+you do not need+is not real
I kissed your mouth
You do not need me

I could call this song beautiful, but it transcends the meaning. Hearing music like this makes listening to music worthwhile.:'(

It's 3:30am... Just got home and turned on the tube. The video was on MTV... I fell in love with the lyrics. They are so honest. It's almost like peeking in somone's journal.

Summer 2005, five o'clock in the morning, just came home after cycling through rain and thunder.I didn't know what the do with that moment. Just touched your mouth for the last time.We felt both the confusion.Clothes out, towel, lights out, "CD" on and enjoyed you in my mind.

This song is absolutely captivating... This whole album is mind blowing. Amie is a beautiful song, too.. Any of you who haven't heard any of these songs definetely should go buy the album right this second. Volcano is a prominent song for me... This is everyone's experience of having a needy relationship; knowing the person is not right for you but needing them no less.. Knowing the other person is unaware of that truth, but keeping quiet because you don't want to lose them. Ohh so powerful... what a wonderful song.
