Lyrics

I keep searching high and low
for a place where I can rest a while

I keep holding you so close
my arms ache and I can barely breathe

I'm under your spell
in a raging storm

you mess with my head
and I want more

I used to be free
and now I'm walking in chains
I follow your tracks
and fade away

your light cast a shadow
in which I've been hiding

will you ever let me go
and wander my own path
like I did before

maybe some day you will know
I've lost my mind through yearning
and all my love is wasted

I keep holding you so close
your soul is what I long for

I used to be free
and now I'm walking in chains
I follow your tracks
and fade away

your light cast a shadow
in which I've been hiding
