Sophia lyrics

Five o'clock and a fire escape symphony

Spilling out across the road and the square

And the sky's the same as your own do ya think of me?

Do the parks and trees and the leaves reach you there?

After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me,

Callin' out again and again

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning

It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out

Sophia, Sophia I'm learning

that some things I can't go without

And one of them is him

Now I walk the streets like a stranger in my hometown

Learn the language from the words when I speak

But he changed me I'm his ghost since he came around

Now I count the hours and the days in the weeks

Passion and silence, every word, every rhyme a measure

It's the science of the soul

And his books they breathe a reason

And now I wanna know

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning

It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out

Sophia, Sophia I'm learning

that some things I can't go without

And you, with your newborn eyes,

Have you ever loved a man like I love him?

Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?

Oh Sophia

Sophia

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning

It's a fire, a fire I cannot put out

Sophia, Sophia I'm learning

that some things I can't go without

I can't go without him
