Obsession
Rook & Bishop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I freak out whenever you're around
They say I shouldn't let someone become my everything
My world's in doubt, come help me out
Guess they just haven't met you

All the signs telling me I should look somewhere else
So why do I keep pretending they're not true
Stole my mind, put me under a spell
And I just can't keep my eyes away from you
But just one look into those eyes, you've got me mesmerized
You've taken me by surprise makin' me fantasize

Obsession
Got you takin' over me
Obsession
So bad I can barely breathe
Obsession
I can't say it enough, you are my obsession, the only only only thing I...
Need. Never felt like this before
Obsession
Every look has got me wanting more
Obsession, obsession, obsession, and
I'm gonna be obsessed with you 'till you give the attention back to me

Never wanted to pick up the phone
Always thought I knew exactly where I was
But now you took me somewhere and I'm lost
So I'm calling for help finding the way back home
'Cause all we ever want is validation
And all we ever need is to be loved
I'm trying not to fall into temptation
But right now you're all I'm thinking of

Obsession
Got you takin' over me
Obsession
So bad I can barely breathe
Obsession
This keeps on coming up: you are my obsession, the only thing I...
Need. Got me falling down so deep
Obsession
You know I can't even sleep
Obsession, obsession, obsession, and
I'm gonna be obsessed with you 'till you give the obsession back to me

No puedes verlo? Estás mi obsesión
No sé si esto es amor, y no hay diferencia
Ambos me costaron mi inocencia

No I don't think you understand
Just how lost I really am
There's nothing that I can do
I need to get next to you
Gonna do what I can to give this obsession back to you

Obsession
Got you takin' over me
Obsession
So bad I can barely breathe
Obsession
I can't say it enough, you are my obsession, the only thing I need
Obsession
My mind's getting hard to keep




Obsession, obsession, obsession babe
I wanna give this feeling back to you 'till I'm the only one you need
