Lead me, I'll follow Feed me, I'll swallow If this ain't the real thing I don't want the real thing Ignore me I'll sit here I know where I fit here You don't give a shit dear but really - I do.
Oh, take me with you Id crawl through coal to kiss you Just gimme that sign and there I'll be.
I used to be so tired Felt like I had expired But woman you saved me, you came and enslaved me And now I know exactly what to do I know exactly where to go This is just how I dreamt it might turn out to be
Come on - disrespect me Cuz I know that you'll protect me Just gimme that sign and there I'll be.
Baby, when I'm with you nothing seems to matter
Stars spinning round me How will they ever find me? Everything seems so long ago... There's no need to worry Cuz we don't need anybody Just gimme that sign and I'll be there I'll be.
All I want is to go back to the beginning And try to make it new But it is so hard to find a way to be forgiven Find the right way back to you
Babe ? no, don't leave me like this I must have been crazy, girl, to do what I did
Don't you hear me calling I'm down on my knees Don't you feel me falling at your feet All alone in the darkness Holding my heart singing Please... Hear me calling
In my heart you'll find a piece of me is missing and there's nothing I can do Look in my eyes you'll see I'm barely even living, no what's living without you? I got to tell you baby ?
I, I got so much to say It cuts me to pieces how you turn me away
Don't you hear me calling I'm down on my knees Don't you feel me falling at your feet All alone in the darkness Holding my heart singing Please...
Babe, we've got so much to say It cuts me to pieces how you push me away
Don't you hear me calling I'm down on my knees Don't you feel me falling at your feet All alone in the darkness Holding my heart singing Please...
When I finally get my own place The walls will be white When I finally get my own place I will stay out every night And it will be quiet
When I finally get my own place It will do its best to please me When I finally get my own place It will have windows I will need A garden I will weed Fish I will feed
You don't need to be lonely You don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for You just knock on my door
When I When I
When I finally get my own place I'll fly into a rage Knock myself out And after hours of whispering through the keyhole I'll let myself back into your arms
You don't need to be lonely You don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you're living for You just knock on my door
Will you love me? And hold me, and open up to let me in But I will leave you in the end I will leave you in the end
Oh-oh-oh Yeah-yeah
When I finally get my own place However low I go It won't say a word Let the floor come up to meet me Walls collapse to keep me It's the only way
You don't need to be lonely You don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you?re living for
You don't need to be lonely
You don't need to be lost
You don't need to know what you?re living for You don't need to be sure You just knock on my door
If the chute doesn't open If this plan doesn't work Going down, down, down, down, down Kinda great to know, as I take the stand This is it, my one last chance
And everything's shattered Everything's falling apart I'm lying in tatters Barely a beat in my heart But nothing else matters, oh
If a man is a sum of all that he's done Then I'm nothing much today And if it's true what they say And you are what you eat Then I'm nothing much today
And everything's shattered Everything's falling apart I'm lying in tatters Barely a beat in my heart But nothing else matters, oh Nothing else matters
Going down, down, down Going down, down, down Going down, down, down Down, down Ooo...
