Lyrics

All these sensations are direct correlations
with the way you make me feel
and you know I don't mind it
but I just can't deny it
I can't pretend this isn't real

Once in a while you uncover a smile
that cuts like a bullet to the chest
and now that I've had you
I can't live without you
I won't settle for second best

Things will change I promise you
You could change if you wanted to
I'm not trying to save you
I won't make you change
If it takes me forever I promise I'll wait
if only I could get the chance to call you mine

So follow the beat of your heart
it doesn't matter what they say
believe in the love that's between us and never turn away

I never said it'd be easy but you gotta belive me
i see something in your eyes
and to you it don't mean much
but everytime our lips touch
I fall to pieces on the inside
