There's the strangest excitement today
If you're awake then you're welcome to hear
I got a gift and it blew me away
From the far eastern sea, straight to here

Oh god, I feel like I'm in for it now
It's like the rush has gone straight to my brain
God, my voice is as lonely as loud
As I whisper the joy of this pain

And suddenly
You've done it all
You've won me over
In no time at all

And now, I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear

If you ask I will do what you say
All we have is this night to get though
With the taste of the smile you're only
You left me all up in arms and confused

Oh god, I feel like I'm in for it now
And how this kiss will be one, roughly vague
I swear I'll melt if you touch me at all
And then I'll ask you to do it again and again

And suddenly
You've done it all
You've won me over
In no time at all

And now, I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light up a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world that we know disappear

I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear

Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah

And now, I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world that we know disappear

I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear

Make world we know disappear

Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
Oh, ohoh, ohoh, ohoh, yeah
