What the
What the
Did you do to me
Heavy cloud come down on
When all of heaven's bliss
Rain down on me
Bring me a change in the weather
Break open the sky
Heat keeps building
It's hot in the city
But I'm not sleeping at night
(Can I get) Can I get relief
I am a lyrical soul
Bound to get carried away
But there's nothing left to say
‘Cept I I I I I
I am a lyrical soul
I I I I I love you
Sow into
Into you
I'll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss
Of rain
Sow into
Into you
I'll bring you up into it
Is this how it feels to kiss
The same
I chose you for your wave (wave) frequency
You take me up against the freak in me
Just tell me what you
Ex ex ex expect of me
Expect of me
I am a lyrical soul
Bound to get carried away
But I think it's fair to say
That you ooh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Love
Me
Sow into
Into you
I'll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss
Of rain
Sow into

Sow into
(Bound to get carried away)
Into you
I'll bring you up into it
(I think it's here to stay)
Is this how it feels to kiss
