Heather Nova: My Fidelity

Lyrics:

Is it something ritual

I’m caught in, can’t break the spell?

Is it moving in my body

Is it biological?

I gotta hand it to you

You’ve got one heart ten times divided.

Did you cut yourself in pieces

To get them all inside?



You dream about her, can’t you see?

She’s only shining bright

’cause she’s so out of reach.

You dream about the seven seas

While I’m staying home each night,

Making love to my fidelity.



I’m rocking in my bed

I can’t talk can’t think can’t sleep.

And nothing’s jumping fences,

I only count what I cannot keep.

I lick my wounds,

I chase my instinct, like a cat.

I don’t know how I got so good

Or why my heart’s a trap.



You dream about her, can’t you see?

She’s only shining bright

’cause she’s so out of reach.

You dream about the seven seas

While I’m staying home each night,

Making love to my fidelity.



Why I love you, why I love you

Why I love you I don’t know,

Why I love you, why I love you, why.

Taking sides with my enemy

Making love to my fidelity.



You dream about her, can’t you see?

She’s only shining bright

’cause she’s so out of reach.

You dream about the seven seas

While I’m staying home each night,

Making love to my fidelity.



I’m landlocked, stuck in here,

I don’t want to take my freedom.

I can’t change what makes me high

And I can’t change what I believe in.

I’m not pleasing no guru,

I’m not out to look for jesus.

I’m not afraid to break the rules

It’s just, one love keeps me breathing.



You dream about her, can’t you see?

She’s only shining bright

’cause she’s so out of reach.

You dream about the seven seas

While I’m staying home each night,

Making love to my fidelity.



Why I love you, why I love you

Why I love you I don’t know,

Why I love you, why I love you, why.

Taking sides with my enemy

Making love to my fidelity
