Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the finest china.
Your skin was like porcelain and I'm like the finest china.
Like the finest china.
You can bend me and I won't break.
You can hold me and I will stay for a lifetime.
For a lifetime with you.
Your heart is so fragile.
Fragile like me.
It's not so simple for people to see.
Your heart is so fragile.
Fragile like me.
It's not so simple for people to see.
You can bend me and I won't break.
You can hold me and I will stay for a lifetime.
For a lifetime with you.
You can bend me and I won't break.
You can hold me and I will stay for a lifetime.
For a lifetime with you.
Life can be so cruel, but baby I don't care because I've got you.
I've got you.
They say that life can be so cruel,
but baby I don't care because I've got you. I've got you.
You can bend me and I won't break.
You can hold me and I will stay for a lifetime.
For a lifetime with you.
You can bend me and I won't break.
You can hold me and I will stay for a lifetime.
For a lifetime with you.

Lately, oh I've been thinking
How it all could be so easy
Living life, just living
With you, baby
Everyday just breathing
Oh one day at a time, no worries
Living life, just living
When fairytales
Evaporate
Riding on the waves
That are leading us nowhere
When morning comes
We've just begun
Discovering
Our dreams were unlikely to happen
Baby, so I've been thinking
How it all would seem so perfect
Being here, just being
Uh with you, honey
Oh and what we could be
If we just had the time to do it
Being here, just being
When fairytales
Evaporate
Riding on the waves
That are leading us nowhere
When morning comes
We've just begun
Discovering
Our dreams were unlikely to happen
When fairytales
Evaporate
The fire of your heart
Seems to slowly have faded
When morning comes
We've just begun
Discovering
Our dreams were unlikely to happen
Lately Oh, I've been thinking
How it all could be so easy
Living life, just living
Uh with you, baby
Everyday just breathing
No more running around for nothing
Living life, just living
When fairytales
Evaporate
Riding on the waves
That are leading us nowhere
When morning comes
We've just begun
Discovering
Our dreams were unlikely to happen
When fairytales
Evaporate
The fire of your heart
Seems to slowly have faded
When morning comes
We've just begun
Discovering
Our dreams were unlikely to happen
