Young and full of runnin'
Tell me where's that takin' me?
Just a great figure eight or a tiny infinity
Love is really nothin'
But a dream that keeps wakin' me
For all of my tryin'
We still end up dyin'
How can it be?
Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everythin' I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me
So young and full of runnin', all the way to the edge of desire
Steady my breathing, silently screaming
"I have to have you now"
Wired and I'm tired
Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours
Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everythin' I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me
Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everythin' I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me
Tell me where's that takin' me?
Just a great figure eight or a tiny infinity
Love is really nothin'
But a dream that keeps wakin' me
For all of my tryin'
We still end up dyin'
How can it be?
Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everythin' I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me
So young and full of runnin', all the way to the edge of desire
Steady my breathing, silently screaming
"I have to have you now"
Wired and I'm tired
Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours
Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everythin' I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me
Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everythin' I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me

We've all been at this point. Despite whats been going wrong, just having that person's presence would make everything feel better. You're desperate to have them back in your life--fully, so much so that you'd take back every action and every word you said that made it all so difficult in the first place. Lets face it, the thing that scares us the most is having that one person who manages to pull every string in your heart forget you.
