Wretched, look at me, I've Lost it, melting on the table
In parking lots and markets
I cant help it, I upendo wewe like a starfish loves the salty water
Like a selfish daughter

Yet I wrote the words to the swan song
The mwandishi of the wrong
And I alisema what I alisema and I meant it
But now I regret it

Foolish, how was I so careless
Pawning off my treasure, the envy of an heiress
Now my dollars are crumbled in my pocket
How can I reclaim it?
What if someone's got it?

When I wrote the words to the swan song
The mwandishi of the wrong
And I alisema what I alisema and I meant it
But now I regret it

How could the world have turned so ugly
I am dying
Could wewe touch me again?
Touch me again

When I wrote the words to the swan song
The mwandishi of the wrong
And I alisema what I alisema and I meant it
But now I regret it

We stood so tall we caught a plane
kwa the wing and held it
Until we found it a place to land
We layed across the ocean wide
Bridged the gap in record time
The people traveled across and kissed our hands

All for upendo we become

Larger than lifesize, wondersome
Great in the eyes of someone
Larger than lifesize we become
Great in the eyes of someone

We smiled so bright the sun went down
Rose above the maddening crowd
We lit the streets with the sweetest glow
We held the globe and made it turn
Wandered through the universe
The men of science observed through telescopes

All for love, we become

Larger than lifesize, wondersome
Great in the eyes of someone
Larger than lifesize we become,
Great in the eyes of someone

Larger than lifesize we become
Larger than lifesize we become
Great in the eyes of someone

Liar, liar
You're such a great big liar
With the tallest tales that I have ever heard
Fire, fire
wewe set my soul on fire
Laughing in the corner as it burns
Right between the ribs is sinking in

Oh, the sirens sing so sweet and watched the sailors go down
Oh, oh, wewe talk to me in siren song
Yeah, anyone would drown
Anyone would drown

Sick and tired of this mad desire
Fluttering aside me like a hawk
Wire wire
Got my hands on wires
Will heaven help wewe when I get them out?

Right between the ribs
You'll feel it then

The sirens sang so sweet and watched the sailors go down
Oh, oh, wewe talk to me in siren song
Yeah, anyone would drown
Anyone would drown

All the ships go down
Following the sound
All the ships go down

Oh oh the siren sang so sweet and watched the sailors go down
Oh oh oh, wewe talk to me in siren song

wewe say your time has come
You're tired of waking up
Don't be obscene, I can't conceive of
Living without you

wewe say wewe drag us down
No one should want wewe now

When I start to cry, wewe kiss my eyes and say
I'm not allowed to

Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, au see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes

wewe were a child forgot
Lessons of upendo untaught
Now no embrace can quite replace
The one that never found you

I was raised tenderly
All that was taught to me
I will apply, your parents tried but they didn't know how to

Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, au see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes

Let me stand kwa you
The honor is mine
Let me stand kwa you
Loneliest light, loneliest light, loneliest light

Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, au see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes
