Remedy
Excuse Me Moses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I still don't know who you are
But I need to know what I can
Tell myself about you
For the sake of clarity
Could you tell me what you feel for me
It's a shame we can't succeed
In ourselves this time
Tell me, tell me what's our remedy
Tell me, don't keep me waitin'
Tell me, tell me what's our remedy
Tell me what you're hindin'
Did you lose your confidence
You still say you cannot add yourself as a friend
But that is just not the case
My friend
Tell me, tell me what's our remedy
Tell me, don't keep me waitin'
Tell me, tell me what's our remedy
Tell me what you're hindin'
Tell me [6x]
What you're hiding
Tell me, tell me
What you're hiding
Tell me, tell me, tell me ... [fading]
