Radio Paradise (mobile)

You walked into my house last night
I couldn't help but notice
A light that was long gone still burning strong
You were sitting, your fingers like fuses
Your eyes were cinnamon
You said you stand for every known abuse
That was ever threatened to anyone but you
And why should I know better by now
When I'm old enough not to?
While every line speaks the language of love
It never held the meaning I was thinking of
And I can't decide over right or wrong
I guess sometimes you need the place where you belong
Some may sing the wrong words to the wrong melody
It's little things like this that matter to me
Others feel that you should stand
For every known abuse to hand
And all the things that they could never see
You said you stood for every known abuse
That was promised to anyone like you
Don't you wish you knew better by now
When you're old enough not to?
When every line speaks the language of love
And never held the meaning I was thinking of
And I can't decide over right or wrong
You left the feeling that I just do not belong
One drink too many and a joke gone too far
I see a face drive like a stolen car
Gets harder to hide when you're hitching a ride
Harder to hide what you really saw
Oh yeah, you stand for every known abuse
That I've ever seen my way through
Don't you wish I knew better by now?
Well I think I'm starting to
When every line speaks the language of love
And never held the meaning I was thinking of
And I've lost the line between right or wrong
I just want to find the place where I belong
Why should you know better by now
When you're old enough not to?
I wish I knew better by now
When I'm old enough not to

When every lie speaks the language of love, It never held the meaning i was thinking of And i can't decide over right or wrong, You left the feeling that i just do not belong Love is a strange creature that shows itself to each of us differently. Many people confuse it with lust. Many confuse it with need. She found love once but now it's coming at her in many of these off coloured ways and she wants to find her way of loving, her old way, the right way for her. A way she thought she had found but it left her. She sees people doing odd and strange things, she wants to taste the world but she keeps getting caught in lust and need and is too afraid to step out of it, too lonely to step into it. She just wants a place to find love, the way she knows it. You walked into my house last night I couldnt help but notice, A light that was long gone still burning strong You were sitting, Your fingers like fuses, Your eyes were cinnamon A lover that left but can't go Eyes burned by tears, fingers so jumpy that they can't be held still... That old love wasn't enough for the old lover, so is she wrong to want it? [ Reply ]

Have always loved this song — and I enjoy a lot of Ben's own stuff. I'll have to listen closer to this song next time! Actually, I think little Ben was Beth's guitarist when he was 17, long before he had a solo career. [ Reply ]
