Lyrics
VERSE 1
Tonight,
Before you leave me for your hide away
Into the ocean where you ride and pray
There something beautiful
I need to say to you because
Tonight,
I can't believe you read my mind
That voodoo that we do
It lets me know that you're divine
It lets me know you're mine
My heart is open wide,
I need to tell you...
I never thought that I would come to your rescue and
I never thought that you'd be there when I needed you
This deeper side of love, it's
Such a surprise
My soul's awakened; I'm alive and so...
CHORUS
High
Your Love it gets me High
Your Thoughts they get me High
Your Lips they get me High
Your Song it gets me High
Your Laugh it gets meHigh
Your Love it gets meHigh
VERSE 2
Tonight,
There was a moment when we fell away
I couldn't leave you, no I had to stay
You recognized the game and
I was free to play because
Tonight,
You saw through all my wicked lies
And that kiss was a gift
Our future love is on your face
The world became our stage
I made you change your name
I want to sing...
I never thought that I could love so completely and
I never thought I could believe so deeply and
This secret side of us, it's
Such a surprise
My soul's awakened; I'm alive and so...
CHORUS 2 (same as first)
