Lyrics
You come to me when your voice is a whisper
Come to me on the corner of a breeze
You come to me because you cannot have her
You come to me only when you're on your knees
I was naked, and you clothed me (clothed me)
A slave and you stole me (stole me)
From the ones who couldn't hold me (hold me)
Took my freedom away
I was empty, and you filled me (filled me)
Made a friend of my enemy (enemy)
I was an idiot, but you could see
Things I couldn't say
If you love life and you give love (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
There's nothing you'll be needing (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
But if you have love and don't give love (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
This is treason (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
You come to me when the waves are crashing
You come to me on the swell of the sea
You come to me when lightning is flashing
In the static electricity
I was a sun and the rain to you
The one who gave a new name to you
I was a vision that came to you
But you can't even see
You were jumping, now you're landing (landing)
You were kneeling, now you're standing (standing)
I'm not a child to abandon (abandon)
So don't abandon me
If you love life and you give love (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
There's nothing you'll be needing (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
But if you have love and don't give love (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
This is treason (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
As your heart stops the beating (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
This is treason (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
Shout 'em out, catch us in a mansion in the open air
I don't wanna make you wanna rush you, no way now
Take it all, I'm running low, so wanna see you there
You wanna fake it, never dance, so mash up
Who you wanted? Love hard to get
I won't leave, eh, baby, steal the whip
Kool-Aid, we're sippin' in the gold mine
Mine, my soul, you're livin', I'm cold
Sipping in my mana, shiver slamming down the soul of it
You wanna drill it in, or let's get gaga
You wanted cupcake, say I don't know
Y'all feelin' Russel, I bounce to a
Game show, shake your finger
Day glow, she's a ringer
Beat my, my, my, my, my soul
Rollin' the beat but she got the glow
Love life and you give love (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
There's nothing you'll be needing (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
But if you have love and don't give love (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
This is treason (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
Oh-oh-oh (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
Oh-oh-oh (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
This is treason (ah-ye-ah-ye-ah-ye)
