Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(I give up, I give up)

[Verse 2]

I've been testin' out the waters

I don't think I can swim, love, with the way you rock me round

And I feel it, more than just desire

I don't think I can breathe with the way you let me down

[Verse 3]

God, you make me so tired

Isn't this the vision that you wanted?

Guess I'll never understand you now

Love is more than telling me you want it

[Verse 4]

I don't need the words, I want the

Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound

(Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound)

I don't need the words, I want the

Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound

(Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound)

No, I don't need the words, I want the

[Verse 5]

Fool's gold landed on my shoulder

In the weight of your hand, but you know the answer's no

(Know the answer's no)

And you know I'm a liar, oh, the night's my weakness

I believe every word 'cause your lips are waterfalls

[Verse 6]

God, you make me so tired

Isn't this the vision that you wanted?

Guess I'll never understand you now

Love is more than telling me you want it

[Verse 7]

I don't need the words, I want the

Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound

(Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound)

I don't need the words, I want the

Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound

(Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound)

[Verse 8]

I'm for you now

I feel my fortune tell me I'm

The only one

The only one

[Verse 9]

I'm for you now (As if to say)

It's sweet until it's over, I'm

The only one (As if to say)

The only one

[Verse 10]

God, you make me so tired

Isn't this the vision that you wanted?

Guess I'll never understand you now

Love is more than telling me you want it

[Verse 11]

I don't need the words, I want the

Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound

(Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound)

I don't need the words, I want the

Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound

(Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound)

[Verse 12]

I don't need the words, I want the

Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound (I need it, yeah)

(Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound) I give up, I give up

I don't need the words, I want the

Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound

(Sound, sound, sound, sound, sound) I give up, I give up

I don't need the words, I want the
