Sensation
Steep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sense of danger
The sense of love
no fence between us
a scent well known

I sense emotion
a dense control
a lense magnifying
through the looking glass

Small glance of your eyes
Just friends for all time?
A chance to fancy
In every way

I sense the danger
I sense the love
No fence between us
and chase below

It can't go wrong
for you I write this song
I hope you come along
together being strong

We both belong
for our love is strong




It can't go wrong
So I wrote this song
