Kiss of Death
RiffShop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My self-restraint is crumbling
It's just me, so don′t you be afraid
Ah
A flightless bird was dreaming
That it could touch the sky
But that blue color's changing
Somebody's knocking on my door
I cover my ears at the sound
Could it be you, I′m waiting for?
Or is it someone else?
Will your lips taste the kiss of death?
Darling, destiny is racing through my body
World in motion, finally
Could this be love?
Let me melt away in your embrace, my darling
It′s just me, so don't you be afraid
Kiss me now!
I just want a taste
I′m sorry if that's strange...
But it takes two to find love
And to kindle that flame
We hold each other close to heal
All of the scars freshin our hearts
And if you let me, I will steal
The breath left upon your lips
Will your lips taste the kiss of death?
Darling,my heartbeat is racing through my body
Oh this love is melting me, but I don′t mind
Won't you come my way?
My self-restraint is crumbling
It′s just me, so don't you be afraid
Kiss me now, my love!
OoHh ohh
I came close to facing my own end
But it was the taste of you that led me back instead
Did you lips taste the kiss of death?
Darling, destiny is racing through my body
World in motion, finally
Could this be love?
Let me melt away in your embrace my darling
It's just me, so don′t you be afraid
Let me near, so I can have a taste
Just kiss me now!

I had no idea this was a cover, it was recommended to me on Spotify and has been one of my favorite songs for awhile now. I have it in a playlist I use while working on my book--but it is no longer available on Spotify, is there a chance it will be brought back?
Call me JT
Will this be back on Spotify anytime soon?

I don't believe RiffShop has much of a presence on the internet any longer, so most likely not.
