Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like the mountains in springtime,
like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert,
like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms.
Come, let me love you, come love me again.
You fill up my senses like a night in a forest,
like the mountains in spring-time,
like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert,
like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms.
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
Come let me love you, come love me again.

Though I left you in a bad way
Even though I hurt you when we parted
Never call you back and you always say
I never return your calls, and you always mention it
"Why you gotta go and dim the round to just like that?"
You ask me why I had to end things so abruptly
Baby I know that you can't take
I know you can't handle
The long nights and the heartbreak
The long nights and the sadness that comes with a break-up
But I always know you're gonna be coming runnin' right back
But I always know you'll come back to me
It's okay, to get stuck in the game
It's okay to get caught up in our relationship
A little insecure, baby we're one and the same, woah
We're both a little unsure, but we're meant for each other
Annie, don't leave me hanging
Annie, please don't leave me
Oh, those big cold eyes that you're hiding behind
I can see the sadness in your eyes, even though you're trying to hide it
Oh, I can see through 'em every time, oh, oh
I can always see past your defenses
Annie, girl you know that I need you
Annie, you know how much I need you
Oh I love it when you smile
I love seeing you happy
Won't you stay for awhile?
Please stay with me for a little longer
I promise everything is gonna be fine, oh, oh
I promise everything will work out in the end
I know it gets a little frantic
I know things can get crazy
Trying to keep up with all the antics
Trying to keep up with all the drama
Oh, I know you get so sad
I know how sad you get
I hate to see you like that
It hurts me to see you feeling that way
But you're a rebel, I'm a bandit
You're a rebel and I'm someone who breaks rules
Now we're ramblin' the abandoned
Now we're wandering through deserted places
Let's just burn it all down, baby, never look back
Let's cause chaos and not worry about the consequences
We've both been here before
We've gone through this before
So before you walk out the door
So before you leave me
Know it's just that game we play, the one we're both good at
Remember that this is just part of our relationship, one that we both know how to do well
I'm saying everything about you
I'm telling you everything I feel about you
But girl I wouldn't be so sure
But don't be too confident
So let's just find a way, oh, oh
Let's figure things out together
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I promise everything is gonna be fine, oh, oh
I promise everything will work out in the end
