Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All it'll take is just one moment

And you can say goodbye to how we had it planned

Fear like a habit, run like a rabbit, out and away

Through the screen door to the unknown

[Verse 2]

And I wanna love you and more

I wanna find you and more

Where do you reside?

When you hide, how can I find you?

'Cause I wanna send you and more

I wanna tempt you and more

Can you tell that I am alive?

Let me prove it

[Verse 3]

You and I, we're the same

Live and die, we're the same

Hear my voice, know my name

You and I, we're the same

[Verse 4]

Left like a pharaoh, sing like a sparrow anyway

Even if there is no land or love in sight

We bloom like roses, lead like Moses, out and away

Through the bitter crowd to the daylight

[Verse 5]

And I wanna love you and more

I wanna find you and more

Can you tell that I am alive?

Let me prove it to you

[Verse 6]

You and I, we're the same

Live and die, we're the same

You rejoice, I complain

But you and I, we're the same

Live and die, we're the same

You and I, we're the same

Hear my voice, know my name

You and I, we're the same

[Verse 7]

I wanna love you and more

I wanna find you and more

Where do you reside?

When you hide, how can I find you?

'Cause I wanna send you and more

I wanna tempt you and more

Can you tell that I am alive?

Let me prove it

[Verse 8]

You and I, we're the same

Live and die, we're the same

You rejoice, I complain

But you and I, we're the same

Live and die, we're the same

You and I, we're the same

Hear my voice, know my name

You and I, you and I
