Love I can't defend - Elvira Nikolaisen

I'm closing in
I'm feeling fine
You've lit the candles
Poured the wine
I've dreamed up great scenarios
Won't come down

With my face pressed up to the glass
Your house inviting, night time, jazz
And I arrive in this masterpiece
This pumpkin

And despite this romantic range of violins
Detoxication tends to be unkind
And if these laws of love do not appeal to you
I'll try and convince myself these rules are just applied

And this is love I can't defend
And this is primitive love
The dangerous kind
And this is love that will bring me to my knees
This is the love that I have for you

My birthday comes, I am reduced
Your moods leave me a bit confused
I'm rearranging all my expectations

How you define consistency
Well, it's clearly not up to me
To break into your rhythm or its absence

And despite this romantic range of violins
Detoxication tends to be unkind
And if these laws of love do not appeal to you
I'll try and convince myself these rules are just applied

And this is love I can't defend
And this is primitive love
The dangerous kind
And this is love that will bring me to my knees
This is the love that I have

And this is love I can't defend
And this is primitive love
The dangerous kind
And this is love that will bring me to my knees
This is the love that I have for you
