[Verse 1]
Flowers in a brown paper package
How considerate of you
I’ve seen the change in your faces
Turn at midnight too
I’m at the edge of your arrow
Thinking, “What you gonna do?”
We found a kind of oasis
Circling my room

[Chorus]
Some reach for love

Like the warmth of an angel’s touch
Like a dream that you want too much
I reach for you
Like a stone that could fall so far
Like a babe reaching for a star

[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la-la

[Verse 2]
Fooled by the light of your halo
When your hair kisses the sun
I’ve been the queen of your country
With my breath-filled lungs
Screaming, “Why would you give me that honour
And then steal me from your bеd?”
Teasing your love like it’s torturе
Killer things you said

[Chorus]
Some reach for love
Like the warmth of an angel’s touch

Like a dream that you want too much
I reach for you
Like a joke that has gone too far
Like a babe reaching for a star

[Outro]
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la-la
La, la, la-la, la-la (La, la-la, la-la)
La, la, la-la, la-la (La, la-la, la-la)
La, la, la-la, la-la
La, la-la
