Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm crawlin', I don't know where to or from
The centre of things from where everything stems is not where I belong
[PreChorus]
I have this city's sickness growing inside me
So this is where I ran for freedom, where a man can not be free
[Chorus]
I have these hands beating with love for you
And you're not here to touch
Sent you away, what else can I do
When I need something that much?
[Verse 2]
I'm hurtin', babe
In the city there's no place for love
It's just used to make people feel better
It's not like us
[PreChorus]
I got this sickness as I got off the train
Now it chips away at my heart till nothing remains
[Chorus]
I have these hands beating with love for you
And you're not here to touch
Sent you away, what else can I do
When I need something that much?
That much
[Bridge]
I'm okay afterwards
Afterwards lasts for minutes only
I'm okay during
You kind of fill up my mind
[PreChorus]
It's just that befores, they last forever
It's just that befores, they just fuck my mind
[Chorus]
I have these hands beating with love for you
And you're not here to touch
Sent you away, what else can I do
When I need something that much?
That much
