Passion
Gretta Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That comes with going head-first into love like this
Just look at me now, caught up in the heat you emit as you walk in a room
You know that you do
I knew it from the minute that we met
You were a depiction of both a dream and a danger somehow
We never had doubts but we waited out giving in to the fire ‘til it was down to the wire
It’s all I ever have known
Wanting you bad to the bone
And by your love I was thrown since the moment you got me alone
It set us in stone
I knew it from the night that we first loved
I had an addiction to all you were, and would for a while
Just give me a reason to feel obliged to pull you aside
Familiarise myself with you in private
You are, I am, we're victims of this feeling
Try to deny that rush that you get every time that I give you that touch
It’s all you ever have known
Wanting me bad to the bone
And by my love you were thrown since the moment you got me alone
It set us in stone
It’s all I ever have known
Wanting you bad to the bone, bone, bone
And by your love I was thrown since the moment you got me alone
It set us in stone
Passion has had me implanted in a romantic, frantic stance and state of mind
Passion has had me enchanted, I couldn’t take it for granted even if I tried
It’s all I ever have known
Wanting you bad to the bone, bone, bone
And by your love I was thrown since the moment you got me alone
It set us in stone
It’s all I ever have known
Wanting you bad to the bone, bone, bone
And by your love I was thrown since the moment you got me alone
It set us in stone
You are, I am, we're victims of this feeling
