SPKT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Call my name, call my name, call my name, call my name)
Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Is this burning
An eternal flame?
I believe
It's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?
Is this burning (burning)
An eternal flame?
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Oh
Oh (call my name)
(Call my name, call my name, call my name, call my name)
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Oh
Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning (burning)
An eternal flame?
Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning
An eternal flame?
Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darling (give me your hand)
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand (give me your hand)
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning
An eternal flame?
