I've
Been waiting here for
someone
And I'm
On the cut with everyone
And I'm fit for
And I'm ready
Again
Yeah I'm fit for
Again and again
So you
Understand just what I
mean
Kids will go to such
extremes
Here's the answer
What's the question
Again
Oh c'mon now
I can do it, should it take
all night
Fill up the tank cause
If it takes all day
We'll get out the
I've
Seen you hanging from blistering skies
Holding yourself with a grace that defies
Law after
Law as well spit in the eye
Fall on me when you come down
You've seen me panic
Kick without sight
Of any danger except what I might
Know of myself and
See in you
Tonight
Fall on me when you come down
The air is thin and hard to breath,
With
Sweetness that you lost to me
Despite this noose around our kiss,
I try to tell myself
This is
No ending
Seeing you buzzing from flickering signs
Bringing on warnings of
Incoming fire
Blood on your hands
From the tongue of a liar
Fall on me when you come
Down
The air is thin and hard to breath,
With sweetness that you lost to me
Despite
This noose around our kiss,
I try to tell myself this is
No ending
No ending
Leaving
Alone and
I see you're still breathing
Head out of sight
But the neon's
Deceiving,
There is no danger of you
Getting anywhere here
I know I'm prone to rushing
In with
No pretence of listening
Despite this noose around our kiss,
I try to tell myself
This is
No ending. No ending
I've
been alone
The time
passes slow
Clock on the wall
It's hands don't move me at all
Time
passes slow
Memories fade
So much more to say
I guess I'll save it for another day
Where you are?
I wanna be there
But it seems so far
Take me where the wind blows
Anywhere the sun shines
Anywhere your love goes
You will find
I picture you
You teach me to fly
You're gonna sing me
Like a lullaby
Where you are?
I wanna be there
But it seems so far
Take me where the wind blows
Anywhere the sun shines
Anywhere your love goes
You will find me
I see the morning
As the darkness falls
I know there's more beyond the loneliness
I hear you call
Anywhere the wind blows
Anywhere the sun shines
Anywhere your love goes
You will find me
Anywhere the wind blows
Anywhere the sun shines
Anywhere your love goes
