Faultline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I hear it comin'
I can feel it in my bones
And it's weighin' heavy on me
Like a sack full of stones
And I see it in your eyes, baby
Each time we meet
And I sense somethin' movin'
Underneath our feet
Baby, our love is on the fault line
And you're sayin' that the fault's mine
I can't believe that you're so blind
Can't believe, can't believe
You've been stirrin' up an earthquake
You've been cookin' up a heartbreak
And I hope it ain't too late
For our love, for our love
Now there's a chilly wind a blowin'
And it's whippin' up a gale
Storm clouds are brewin'
And I know it's gonna hail
And I see it in your eyes, baby
Each time we meet
And sense somethin' movin'
Underneath our feet
Baby, our love is on the fault line
And you're sayin' that the fault's mine
I can't believe that you're so blind
Can't believe, can't believe
You've been stirrin' up an earthquake
You've been cookin' up a heartbreak
And I hope it ain't too late
For our love, for our love
I feel it in my bones, I see it in your eyes
Comin' up behind, here it comes
Hold on tight
You've been stirrin' up an earthquake
You've been cookin' up a heartbreak
And I hope it ain't too late
For our love, for our love
Our love is on the fault line
And you're sayin' that the fault's mine
I can't believe that you're so blind
Can't believe, can't believe
You've been stirrin' up an earthquake
You've been cookin' up a heartbreak
And I hope it ain't too late
For our love, for our love
Our love is on the fault line
And you're sayin' that the fault's mine
I can't believe that you're so blind
Can't believe, can't believe
Our love is on the fault line
And you're sayin' that the fault's mine




I can't believe that you're so blind
Can't believe, can't believe
