Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need more affection than you know

In you and I, there's a new land
Angels in Flight
[I need more affection than you know]
My Sanctuary, my Sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music in time

[I need more affection than you know]
What's left of me, what's left of me now

I watch you, fast asleep
All I fear means nothing

In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
[I need more affection than you know]
My Sanctuary, my Sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music in time
[I need more affection than you know]
What's left of me, what's left of me

[So many ups and downs]
My heart's a battleground
[I need true emotions]
[I need more affection than you know]
[I need true emotions]

You show me how to see
That nothing is whole and
Nothing is broken

In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
[I need more affection than you know]
My Sanctuary, my Sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music in time
[I need more affection than you know]
What's left of me, what's let of me now

My fears and our lies

Melt away
[I need more affection than you know]
