Paperbacks Songtext
von Astrid Williamson

Paperbacks you′ve given me
That I don't read but I like to see
Lying ′round the house in pairs
Reminding me that you're out there
Mirrors in the afternoon
That I don't need ′cause I know you
Already see me as I am

This is how it feels
This is how it feels
This is how it feels
To be loved


I find reasons not to go
Get out closets not to show
All the wounds that bring along
Their ghosts, self-inflicted, hurt the most
I′m tentative, a cat on ice
Creature startled by the light
So you better let me cry a while
But you just smile and say
"Baby, let's go"

This is how it feels
This is how it feels
Baby, do you wanna go?
This is how it feels
This is how it feels
Baby, let′s go now
This is how it feels
To be loved
