Lyrics

Iris (Wide Winged Bird Version)

[Verse 1] We jumped straight into The iris of the lake You threw your arms around my neck, you knew My heart was yours My heart was yours [Verse 2] Stay up late into The iris of the day You said just one more cigarette, you knew My heart was yours My heart was yours [Verse 3] Man you change, you grew You grew another face You chewed my flesh and spit the taste, you knew My heart was yours My heart was yours [Outro] And everybody and I never knew before You tell me what you needed and you need a little You know that you a ten and it ain't you again I know, I know, I know, oh Oh everybody and I never knew before You tell me what you needed and you want a little You know you a da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na I know, I know, I know
