by The Borrowers



On the corner of despair and resurrection

It's another perfect day

She stops a blind man and she asks him for directions

The she walks the other way

I know when I see her face

Here's such a lonely place for her

She can't help but end up lost before she starts

She's got a nervous heart



On the way down from desire to isolation

I pass her on the street

She seems to know me but I sense her hesitation

And mistake it for conceit

Oh we can build these walls

Why can't we make them fall

Maybe we just don't know where to start

She's got a nervous heart



Ooh, she could do what she wants with mine

Ooh, she's as sweet as turpentine



Watching you walk away

I felt like I feel today

And once again I know that ordinary sadness

That keeps us all apart

She's got a nervous heart

It's just a nervous heart
