Sillyboy's Ghost Relatives Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give your self a reason
To run away with me
But can you keep a secret
I′ve been waiting for this
All night long

I don't mind the treason
Your friends are working on

This is just for us
And there is nothing that could go wrong

Now you are far away from me
And your mind is somewhere else
I have to confess
That I′m still in love with you
I can forget the day i made you second guess

Don't hesitate to call
I'm waiting on the other line
(Still waiting, still waiting)
No matter what I do
I′ll come running back to you
To ask you once more

Now you are far away from me

And your mind is somewhere else
I have to confess
