Paula Cole 14 Lyrics

14 Lyrics

Your eyes, they conjure up those cliffs of Moher

Far away and not listening anymore

Dreaming of life on another shore

Not here, not now, with me, the bore



So I stopped talking, fade to bleak

Feeling insignificant atrofied and weak

Even though it's not who I know myself to be

The queen, the confidence doesn't speak



But I was 14 with my passion and 15 with my best

16 with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah

My heart is a POW, tangled in my chest

I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest



Your eyes, they drown me in your sadness

Your words, they bring hurricanes

I'm braving Shakespearian tempest

The Mighty Tiger doesn't blink



But I was 14 with my passion and 15 with my best

16 with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah

My heart is a POW, tangled in my chest

I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest



I think you were the one

Silent suffering inside

The one got away

I was too dangerous to hide



But I was 14 with my passion and 15 with my best

16 with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah

My heart is a POW, tangled in my chest

I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest



So I stopped talking, baby

'Cause you always want me to shut up

Take this ever, stage meanwhile

While I become you trusted silent prop



So take good care

This mighty woman's ready to explode

Fire here below the surface of my volcano
