  • Oh, oh, oh, oh

    As I drew your name on the water
    Oh, I threw my heart in the sand
    If you saw what hides in the shadows
    Would you try and understand?

    Why do you stand there like a sculpture?
    My hopes drown in the ocean
    Breaks me when I look into your eyes
    Your eyes

    If ignorance is bliss
    And all I get is this
    Then I'm standing here
    Right now, where I wanna be
    The devil's in the kiss
    If this is all it is
    At least I got you right here where I wanna be, yeah

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    So I drew your name on the water
    And I threw my heart in the sand
    If you saw what hides in the shadows
    Would you try and understand?

    Why do you stand there like a sculpture?
    My hopes drown in the ocean
    Breaks me when I look into your eyes, your eyes

    If ignorance is bliss
    And all I get is this
    Then I'm standing here
    Right now, where I wanna be
    The devil's in the kiss
    If this is all it is
    At least I got you right here where I wanna be, yeah

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

    If ignorance is bliss
    And all I get is this
    Then I'm standing here
    Right now, where I wanna be
    The devil's in the kiss
    If this is all it is
    At least I got you right here where I wanna be, oh

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    The stakes are what it is
    You'll be my greatest wish
    The devil's in the kiss
    The stakes are what it is
    You'll be my greatest wish
    The devil's in the kiss Writer/s: Alice Merton, Daniel Smith, Jennifer Decilveo, Paul Whalley
