Followed the Waves Lyrics

Feel me sneaking around again
Am I hanging around again?
Can't you see?
That my heart lies, my heart lies to you

I followed the waves to you,
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
You’ll never have me true

Please don't, please don't make amends
See me, see me slip again

Break my heart The cards of fate, seal the deal

My heart lies, my heart lies to you
My heart lies, my heart lies

I followed the waves to you,
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
You’ll never have me true

I followed the waves to you,
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
I'll never stay with you

Between my fire sighs and my burning eyes
My heart burns wildly in his eyes
He's just a drunken, gambling man
Dealing with the hand of desire's thing

I’m gonna shuffle his deck clean
I’m gonna shuffle his deck clean

Between my fire sighs and my burning eyes
My heart burns wildly in his eyes
He's just a drunken, gambling man
Dealing with the hands of desire's thing
I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean
I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean

I'll Be Anything You Want

Feel me sneaking around again 
Am I hanging around again?
Can't you see?
That my heart lies, my heart lies to you

I followed the waves to you,
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you 
You’ll never have me true

Please don't, please don't make amends 
See me, see me slip again

Break my heart The cards of fate, seal the deal

My heart lies, my heart lies to you 
My heart lies, my heart lies

I followed the waves to you,
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you 
You’ll never have me true

I followed the waves to you,
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you 
I'll never stay with you

Between my fire sighs and my burning eyes 
My heart burns wildly in his eyes 
He's just a drunken, gambling man 
Dealing with the hand of desire's thing

I’m gonna shuffle his deck clean
I’m gonna shuffle his deck clean

Between my fire sighs and my burning eyes 
My heart burns wildly in his eyes 
He's just a drunken, gambling man 
Dealing with the hands of desire's thing 
I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean 
I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i wasn't expecting her debut to sound anything like this, but I really like it. She has some really clever metaphors in here ("I’m gonna shuffle his deck clean"), and lines with terrific rhythm. This entire album screams "desiireee".

I think this is the best song on her album. I like her sound, but I think she's got a bit of developing lyricaly to do. I'll look foreward to what she's coming up with next.

I think this is about a guy that uses girls: "He's just a drunken, gambling man." She's saying he might think he has more power than her, but she's the stronger one.

This band is wicked live. CD is amazing, it will really surprise you if you're expective some post-Courtney bullshit. Brilliant lyrics - "I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean" - she always has a plan up her sleeve.

I think the songs about a woman using a guy in the beginning for money and other things (=P) and later on she decides to 'shuffle his deck clean' or in other words, help him. So far the lyric explaining. I knew Melissa from the Pumpkins(hehehe) but never listened to her album (shame) but later on I saw her on the programme for Lowlands in Holland, and a few weeks later, when lowlands started, she was on a programme that was broadcasted for lowlands, and there was a bit of her show in it as well, with skin receiver and followed the waves, if I recall correctly...anyway, after I heard her songs, I was like 'ah...cool!!' and here I am...>.>

I think it's about a guy who uses her and cheats, and he thinks she is oblivious as to what he is doing, but she knows exactly what is going on and decides to play him right back.. I love the way she sings "my heart lies, my heart lies to you."
