I've chased your name
I'll sailed all through space
To watch this
Come down
Teach us
The ropes
Your concept
It keeps us provoked
Now remove your veil
And let me light you up
I'm on your team
Lets go
Face to face
Light stare
My custom made nightmares
Armed with teeth in fashion
Now all we need is action

TAKE ME!
Nights like these feel too big for me
On this endless stretch of apartment sheets
But still the chains of the snowless streets sing to me.
And it seems to be
That every night for at least the last few weeks
You hold me close and my heart admits defeat.
And with a slowing pace of beats, it hums the day complete and I fall
Asleep.
You're the only habit I won't break,
The only set of vacancies I save,
And you deserve a reverence I can't pay.
Now ever morning I can hear you chase
The monsters of your waking hours away
You turn to me and say,
"Baby boy, it hurts to have to wait."
And for the next few months that I'm away
You feel the ground below you start to shake.
You say "There's nothing I can do.
The bruises are more black that they are blue."
You're the only habit I won't break,
The only set of vacancies I save,
And you deserve a reverence I can't pay.
Sink in slow, we don't need to rush this
You're my queen of diamonds, your beauty calms me
Speaking only truth, no lies can you
My eyes you conquered, I think you got me
You're my queen of diamonds, oooo
You're my queen of diamonds
Sun on my gloom, we'll play tag with are shadows
Set a course for life, give it all we got
OOOO what's this
I got this feeling inside
It sayin to hold you close
Cause you're the one for me
You're my queen of diamonds
You're my queen of diamonds
Make it know, there's a one and only
She my life goddess, forever honored
Going thru days, we need to mold this
Take this ring of diamonds, be my friend and wife
OOOO what's this
I got this feeling inside
It sayin to hold you close
Cause you're the one for me x2
We started out slow, low, just a few words to make you remember me
Steady we go, we'll stay together
We'll move forward on, to make a life, this life that's filled with better things
Then I'll take a leap and say those words, will you marry me
Ooooooo
Yeah, oooo
Oooooo
Sink in slow, we don't need to rush this
