Temptation
Moby feat. Laura Dawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heaven
A gateway to hope
Just like a feeling
I need, it's no joke

And though it hurts me
To see you this way
They traded by words
I'd never heard
To hard to say them

Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home

Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home

Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time

Each way I turn
I know I'll always try
To break the circle
That has been placed round me

From time to time
I find our lost
Meaning
That was urgent

To myself
I don't believe

Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home

Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home

Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time

And I have never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before

And I have never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before

And I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone, to find my soul desire to go home

And I never met anyone quite like you before
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone, to find my soul desire to go home

Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home

Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home

@ChipsALaChocolat

i love this song so much right now. it reminds me of walking alone through a deserted city late at night, and snow begins to fall softly. and then being at an empty subway station and riding somewhere alone. i love it:)

The moment I knew there was hope for Damon Salvatore.

@eatamymeata

Damon Salvatore's sounds like a damn fine place to get a steak. Forget the opening reviews. I have hope for Damon Salvatore's!
