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

I′m a wounded soldier on a downtown train to your place
You've lost the secret half of 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?
Were we just heroes for a day?
This time I will stand by you
In my name 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 getting all over my bullshit
I want to be your star but I've got to learn to feel myself
I want your love but I need your help


Did we not choose each other?
Were we just heroes for a day?
This time I will stand by you
In my name is a heart, I will say
Did 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

Just because we live like dolphins together
So many reasons to break away
We can swim the street after street, babe, wherever
We can be kissing in the rain

Did 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
Is it yours to give? Is it mine to take?
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?
Were we just heroes for a day?
This time I will stand by you
In my name is a heart, I will say
Did 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
Did we not judge each other?
Were we just heroes for a day?
This time I will stand by you
In my name is a heart, I will say
Did we not judge each other?
I′d rather wipe your tears away
I'd rather, rather, rather, rather
Rather, rather wipe your tears away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Give yourselves a great big round of applause
Wasn′t that amazing how much that added?
Wasn't that exciting?
It's amazing to think that even if—yeah, whistler
Even if you walked out whistling and you were grooving
And then what if, like, one guy picked it up and then a girl
And then somebody with a dog
And then everybody was clapping with you
It′s totally changed the motion of the earth
Alright
Alright, my friends
Sorry I can′t sing to you back there
