Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Just as you take my hand Just as you write my number down Just as the drinks arrive Just as they play your favorite song As the magic disappears No longer wound up like a spring Before you've had too much Come back and focus again The walls abandon shape You've got a Cheshire cat grin All blurring into one This place is on a mission Before the night owl Before the animal noises Closed circuit cameras Before you're comatose Before you run away from me Before you're lost between the noise The beat goes round and round The beat goes round and round I never really got there I just pretended that I had What's the point of instruments Words are a sawed off shotgun Come on and let it out Come on and let it out Come on and let it out Come on and let it out Before you run away from me Before you start unraveling Before you take my mic Just as you dance, dance, dance Jigsaws falling into place There is nothing to explain You eye each other as you pass She looks back, you look back Not just once Not just twice Wish away the nightmare Wish away the nightmare You've got a light you can feel it on your back You've got a light you can feel it on your back Jigsaws falling into place
