lyrics

You've got the strangest way about you
You got a beautiful soul
And I feel the strangest way about you
Even though you'll probably swallow me whole

And you built a wall out of coloured candy
The kind you get from Japan
You built a wall so now I wanna break it down
Wishing that I was your man

Darling you make me wanna break the rules
When I'm staring at your face
Darling you make me wanna break the rules
Even though you'll probably put me in my place

You grew up in a suburb of London
Wearing chains and platform shoes
And when I'm staring in your hazel eyes baby girl
I forget everything I have to lose

And you built a wall out of baggy hoodies
It was stronger than mine
And you built a wall so now breaking it down
Is how spending all of my time

And darling you make me wanna break the rules
When I'm starring at your face
And darling you make me wanna break the rules
Without doing a god damned thing
