Did We Not Choose Each Other Songtext
von Sophie B. Hawkins

I′m a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place
You lunched the secret halt with your face
You don't always say what I want to hear but you move me
Across the rooftops and into the deep blue sea

Did we not choose each other?
Are we just heroes for a day?
This time I will stand by you
Mine is a heart, I will say
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

I drew a hard line but I just can′t see it
Your colors are bleeding all over my bullshit
I wanna be your star but I've got to learn to feel myself
I want your love and I need your help

Did we not choose each other?
Are we just heroes for a day?
This time I will stand by you
Mine is a heart, I will say


Can we not judge each other?
But I'd rather wipe your tears away
I could follow my heart to the end
But I just can′t choose the way

Just because we live like dolphins, yeah
So many reasons to break away
We can swim from street lamp to street lamp whenever
We can be kissing in the rain

Can we not judge each other?
I′d rather wipe your tears away
I could follow my heart to the end
But I just can't choose the way

Listen, baby, listen, baby, don′t you do me wrong
I can make my bed, you can sing your song
Ain't nobody else gonna make you shine
If it′s the truth you seek, then darling, love you'll find
I don′t wanna, I don't wanna take your pain away
Isn't yours to give, Isn′t mine to save
Here′s my heart, here's my hand, here′s my soul
Take it in, take your part, take it easy, let it go


Did we not choose each other? (Listen, baby, listen, baby, don't you do me wrong)
Are we just heroes for a day? (I can make my bed, you can sing your song)
This time I will stand by you (ain′t nobody else gonna make you shine)
In my name is a heart, I will say (if it's the truth you seek, then darling, love you′ll find)

Can we not judge each other? (I don't wanna, I don't wanna take your pain away)
I′d rather wipe your tears away (isn′t yours to give, Isn't mine to save)
I could follow my heart to the end (here′s my heart, here's my hand, here′s my soul)
But I just can't choose the way (take it in, take your part, take it easy, let it go)

Did we not choose each other? (Listen, baby, listen, baby, don′t you do me wrong)
Are we just heroes for a day? (I can make my bed, you can sing your song)
This time I will stand by you (ain't nobody else gonna make you shine)
In my name is a heart, I will say (if it's the truth you seek, then darling, love you′ll find)

Can we not judge each other? (I don′t wanna, I don't wanna take your pain away)
I′d rather wipe your tears away (isn't yours to give, Isn′t mine to save)
I could follow my heart to the end (here's my heart, here′s my hand, here's my soul)
But I just can't choose the way (take it in, take your part, take it easy, let it go)
