I couldn't ask you if I tried
I couldn't see my claims denied
You came to put me in my place
But I didn't hear a word you cried
My eyes were fixed upon your lips
Your flushing cheeks, your fingertips
Anger makes you beautiful
Incendiary but magical
And I can't find a way to say it right
You're all to me
Stay with me tonight

We're fire and ice, we're chalk and cheese
You often bring me to my knees
I wouldn't change you for the world
But I would suffer if you pleased
I'd follow you into the flames
I'd bear your sin, I'd take your blame
I'd comfort you when all was dark
And suck the poison from your heart
And I can't find a way to say it right
You're all to me
Stay with me tonight

I've waited for this all my days
I've clamboured through a smokey haze
To sit upon these battlements
And look upon the walls I've razed
It's calm below and calm within
I feel the soft breeze on my skin
I watch you as you climb the stairs
And smiling catch me unawares
And I have found a way to say it right
You're all to me 
Stay with me tonight
And I have found a way to say it right
You're all to me
Stay with me tonight.
