Delicate by Damien Rice is about the ambiguity and complexity of romantic relationships. It delves into themes of intimacy and vulnerability, with lyrics that reflect on intimate, personal moments, highlighting the sensitivity and delicateness of the feelings involved.
We might kiss when we are alone nobody's watching We might take it home We might make out when nobody's there It's not that we're scared It's just that it's delicate
So why do you fill my sorrow With the words you've borrowed From the only place you've known And why do you sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why do you sing with me at all?
We might live like never before When there's nothing to give Well how can we ask for more We might make love in some sacred place The look on your face is delicate
So why do you fill my sorrow With the words you've borrowed From the only place you've known And why do you sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why do you sing with me at all? So why do you fill my sorrow With the words you've borrowed From the only place you've known And why do you sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why do you sing with me at all?
