Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In you and I, there's a new land
Angels in Flight
[I need more affection than you know]
My Sanctuary, my Sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music in time
What's left of me, what's left of me now
I watch you, fast asleep
All I fear means nothing
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
[I need more affection than you know]
My Sanctuary, my Sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music in time
[I need more affection than you know]
What's left of me, what's left of me
[So many ups and downs]
My heart's a battleground
[I need true emotions]
[I need more affection than you know]
[I need true emotions]
You show me how to see
That nothing is whole and
Nothing is broken
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
[I need more affection than you know]
My Sanctuary, my Sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music in time
[I need more affection than you know]
What's left of me, what's let of me now
My fears and our lies
Melt away
[I need more affection than you know]
