Story Behind The Song
It's a slightly dark look at love. She reminisces about the love she can't let go and describes how she became Bound to him. Verses describe how they met and the impact he had while the chorus tells how she is still tied to him and always will be. In the bridge she claims he owns her at the deepest level of love. Very passionate account...

Lyrics
Journeys through long winding streets
Guided me straight to your stair
(Your) peaches with anisette hypnotized me
You branded me bare
Keeping tongues artfully tied
You saw me coming undone
Smiling teeth glistened then told me to hide
Why didn?t I run
I am bound
You dance me around and around
I?m your slave, don?t set me free
We make the sweetest sound... I am
Warming this chill in my bones
It?s as useless as running from you
Winters don?t choose the ice or the snow
I never chose you
chorus
Way down where the fault lines crack
Deep beneath the sea
Hear my voice, it echoes back
You own me
Chorus/Outro
