In My Heart
The Private Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your hands
Won't fall in mine
Lock them down
I'm cold right now
Gone
Are Stranger's looks
Brand new eyes
Shine around

Look me down
Smoke and memories
Glowing
Jukebox screens
Will you catch my head
Drown me in your bed tonight
We can smoke inside
Roll around in ecstasy
You don't have to leave
You don't have to leave
Your face
So close to mine
But I can't hear
So come more near
Words
Tailor made
Meant to sway
So just sway
Friends and
In between
Calling
For new scenes
Will you catch my head
Drown me in your bed tonight
We can smoke inside
Roll around in ecstasy
You don't have to leave
You don't have to leave
You don't have to leave
You don't have to leave
You don't have to leave
You don't have to leave
You don't have to leave
You don't have to leave
I know you know my name
I'd love to hear you say it now
People are around
Let's let our friends

Tonight
You don't have to leave
