Paula Cole - 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 and fade to bleak
Feeling insignificant after feeling weak
Even though it's not who I know myself to be
The queen, the confidence doesn't speak

But, I was fourteen with my passion
And fifteen with my best
Sixteen 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 fourteen with my passion
And fifteen with my best
Sixteen 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 who got away
I was too dangerous to hide

But, I was fourteen with my passion
And fifteen with my best
Sixteen 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 to shut up
Take the center stage meanwhile I
Become your trusted silent prop
So take good care
This mighty woman's ready to explode
Fire here below the surface of my volcano
