Lion's Cage
Flux Pavilion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if I told you I'm to blame?
What if I hold you down 'til the end of days?

I'm not giving up no, I will not go
Walking tightropes over the lion's cage
Oh, I'm running in circles trying to fan the flames

If you could just see how much you need me
I would sleep easier
Oh
A bed full of secrets, dark lullabies
I want your body near
Oh

I need you, you, you, you right here
I need you, you, you, you right here

(I need you, I need)

I'm out of my mind, living in the memory, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh the hours just fall like the rain in the dark

Every time I call you, my heart breaks
But I do it just to feel near, ooh
I know I'm a goner, but what else can I say?
I want you here, here

If you could just see how much you need me
I would sleep easier
Oh
A bed full of secrets, dark lullabies
I want your body near
Oh

I need you, you, you, you right here
I need you, you, you, you right here





I need you

O melhor para o Brasil

Lyrics Português
E se eu disser que sou culpada?
E se eu te segurar até o fim dos dias?

Eu não vou desistir não, eu não vou
Andando na corda bamba sobre a gaiola do leão
Oh, eu estou correndo em círculos tentando abanar as chamas

Se você pudesse ver o quanto você precisa de mim
Eu dormiria mais fácil
Uma cama cheia de segredos, canções de ninar sombrias
Quero seu corpo perto

Eu preciso de você, você, você, você aqui
Eu preciso de você, você, você, você aqui

Eu estou fora da minha mente, vivendo na memória, yeah
As horas apenas caem como a chuva no escuro

Toda vez que eu ligo para você, meu coração se parte
Mas eu faço isso só para me sentir perto
Eu sei que sou um caso perdido, mas o que mais eu posso dizer?
Eu quero você aqui, aqui

Se você pudesse ver o quanto você precisa de mim
Eu dormiria mais fácil
Uma cama cheia de segredos, canções de ninar sombrias
Quero seu corpo perto

Eu preciso de você, você, você, você aqui
Eu preciso de você, você, você, você aqui
