That's where you are
You left a stain but not a scar
You move like tide
Oh, what a ride
I'll never let you go too far
I breathe you in
You ease my pain
Just like summer rain
You bend my soul
You make me shiver
Put a spotlight where I stand
Blow the horns
I need attention
I've got something I want to say
I breathe you in
I promise
I'll be everything you can imagine
I promise
I'll be everything you didn't think of
But still needs
I breathe you in
I breathe you in
