Mine (And You Could Be)

Straight from Savage Garden... "This is also one of the first tracks we ever wrote. This song is about delay. Every instrument is cycling through a delay in its own time, creating a swirling continuous swell that culminates in the instruments finally locking together. Lyrically based around the notion of desire so strong and yet so completely unobtainable."
-Darren Hayes
The 411 Track #11 of Australian Savage Garden
Not released as a single

Say WHAT? To quote Darren, "'Mine' was inspired by the film Dangerous Liasons. And affections I had for someone I knew I'd never have." Hmmmmm....
Avoid Those Embarrassing Misheard Lyric Moments I wait in the darkness / frozen winds surround my face / in the cover of darkness I can make believe its you / I feel you like the rain / I feel you like a storm cloud / building in my heart / I wonder if you know the pain / to want the one thing that you haven’t got
-->chorus: just a twist in time... and you could be mine / just a sip of wine... and you could be mine / just a kiss divine
a hand brushes by my love / a smile fuels a steel inferno / you don’t have to die to leave my world / stand still and you’ve departed / it seems I’m not on your mind / and I’m just wasting my time / I’m just a fool to believe / in the death of the night / can you feel me inside? / I wish that you could conceive...
-->chorus
won’t you leave me in the darkness / take away the pride, all the dignity that’s burning inside / can’t you see I’m standing naked? / I’ll bear all the crosses and the crucifixes you can provide / if you could decide
just a twist in time / just a sip of wine / just a kiss divine
-->chorus until fade
