Flying In the Face of Love

Flying In the Face of Love - Neil Finn

You must reveal your infinite sorrow

Show what you're made of and what you're afraid of

You'll have to leave the comfort of shadows

The places you came from the troubles you played on

Out on the landing leaves are descending

Summer is ending and daylight is blue

Is that you rising up

Flying in the face of love

Now you set your mind to run

In circles around everyone

Flying in the face of love

Thinking enough is enough

Before you get too involved

Like this isn't real it's just a feeling

That gets in the way sometimes

Every distraction you can imagine

Like a disclaimer it's turning you off

Always turning you off

Flying in the face of love

Now you've set your mind to run

In circles around everyone

Flying in the face of love

And dreaming of the one you lost

Wake up to barking dogs

Were you thinking of her when you wrote that song

Sing it to me – your mysterious life I'm reminded of

Think about her – and it feels like a new sensation then it's gone

Flying in the face of love

How much longer will you run

In circles around everyone

Flying in the face of love

Dreaming of the one you lost

Wake up to barking dogs

Flying in the face of love

Flying in the face of love

Flying in the face of love

All the years are catching up

How does it feel to be wrong
