Only human
Cold Showers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More than expression
Believe in me now
Believe in intention
Lend me your faith
Don't ask any questions
Morals aside
You could have it
...
It's a matter of choice
...
Learning to trust
My hand to you
My hand to you
Just as simple
Just as simple as that
You're only human
An observer at that
And if you're wary
Don't believe me at that
When I say that
I wouldn't
I wouldn't dare
...
On the tip of your tongue
Mercy awaits
And cuts like a knife
Bound to the badlands
Heaven's distraction
There's no persuasion
Stronger than sorrow
It's stronger than
...
It's a matter of choice
...
Learning to trust
My hand to you
My hand to you
Just as simple
Just as simple as that
You're only human
An observer at that
And if you're wary
Don't believe me at that
When I say that
I wouldn't
I wouldn't dare
I wouldn't dare
I wouldn't dare

I will never understand how Greys Anatomy, - and now How to get away with murder always find that kind of soundtrack that VERY WELL suited its scenes!! Always the best one.
@AutitsicDysexlia
They hire people like me.
@DevilxPanther
This has been my favorite song for months now and I don't think that's ever going to change. I love it so much and can't get enough of this masterpiece.
@jaredb5302
Try TR/ST??
@AutitsicDysexlia
...specifically 'Dressed for Space' today.
Also the Boy Harsher remix of Street Pulse Beat.
And... given this song I recommend:
Absolute - 'Death of Lovers'
