Lyrics
What do you
Want of me?
What do you
Want of me?
I am hiding in the city
Dressed in red
Walking in the dead of night looking for an answer
(Answer me)
I have said
I believe
Though my greatest friend, the gift of song is here
The gift is not enough tonight
I fear I breathe
Slowly slowly what do I believe?
Is it strong enough?
Let me love (let me love)
Show me the sun (show me the sun)
'Cause my mind is moving at the speed of light
I know you place the jewel of love, your heart
In the middle of us all to fight it out
And we do it
We're waking up to that belief
And you will be saved
Wicked you (wicked you)
Wicked me (wicked me)
We are lost amongst the dreaming fields of pain
Praying on our ever-bended knees
That you'd dip your cooling finger in the well, and you touch us
I wanna be with Lazarus, I'm on the side of the weak
(Side of the weak)
(Side of the weak)
What I choose to do with my time
Is a gift
I threw in your face
A hangover of youth, but the plain bloody truth:
You suffer a while before ladders of gold set you free
So I come (so I come)
Broke the seal (broke the seal)
Broke the faith of every deal I ever made
Did the obvious, the weakest thing I could
And your mother and your beauty run to you
Let me foster my intentions to be wise
And to love you
