Breaking Down
The Ananda Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Patiently I wait for you to come to me
Can't you see me breaking down
It's another day without sleep
It's another night without dreams, dreams

Full moon and my eyes are wide
I will wait for you till the sky turns blue
When the time is right

Make me dance, make me move in time
I can't go to sleep when I hear the beat
I come alive

Patiently I wait for you to come to me
Can't you see me breaking down
It's another day without sleep
It's another night without dreams, dreams

Kiss me deep, don't leave with life
All night all day, I just can't wait
You make me high

Hey, baby, where you been this time
Your insatiable and I just can't hold
All my love inside

Patiently I wait for you to come to me
Can't you see me breaking down
It's another day without sleep
It's another night without dreams, dreams

Patiently I wait for you to come to me
Patiently I wait for you to come to me
Patiently I wait for you to come to me
Patiently I wait for you to come to me

To come to me, to come to me
To come to me, to come to me





Patiently I wait for you to come to me
Patiently I wait for you to come to me

I usually listen to jazz or gospel. As I was out walking yesterday morning, I was listening to the one of the House Music channels on Tune In Radio and heard this song for the first time. I guess it's old, but man, my spirit just lit up after hearing all of those harmonies. All of those chords. The lyrics. And, oh yeah, the beat. I was hoping that it would be on YouTube, and wow, here it is. YouTube is so cool! Thanks for posting!!
