Cul de Sac
Hunters of the Alps Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuz you show me how much you mean to me
While I hide myself in so many things
Yet you show me how much you mean to me
While I try to compensate for you
I want you to touch me while we are dancing
I want you to touch me when we are dancing
Cuz you make me believe in me
And I don′t want to lose anymore

Yet you show me time and time again
That you help me believe in me
I want you to touch me while we are dancing
I want you to touch me when we are dancing
If you want me to wait, I'll stay awake
If you want me stay, I′ll find a way to sing your songs

But if you have any sort of doubt, I can walk away
If one day I ask you to dance then hopefully you will know, you know?
