Addict
De/Vision Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm addicted to everything you do
What else can I do
I'm addicted to all of you
Lead me up the garden path
Pretend that we will always last

I'm addicted to every part of you
What else I can do

I'm addicted to simply all about you
Drain my dry my head has a leak
Strong as I feel you make me weak

If I should lose my head
May I wreck your instead
Determine my fate don't hesitate
Take me to a natural high
I long to touch the sky

Determine my fate
Hurry don't be late
