It's cold in the desert, water never sees the ground

Hand over your heart, let's go home
Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs

Is it you, is it me
Or does nobody know, nobody see
Nobody but me.

* - Keep strumming on the note
I'm on the corner, waiting for a light to come on
That's when I know that you're alone
It's cold in the desert, water never sees the ground
Special unspoken without sound
You told me you loved me, that I'd never die alone
Hand over your heart, let's go home
Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs
I've always been known to cross lines
I've never ever cried when I was feeling down
I've always been scared of the sound
