I hold you
I touch you

In a maze can't find my way

I think you
I drink you

I'm being served you on a tray.
You see
girl
that's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me
I'm dreaming
But if it is don't let me know.
I'm drowning
don't save me

It's just the way I'd like to go.
You see
girl
you thrill me

Half kill me
that's what you do.
Ai no corrida
that's were I am

You send me there -
Your dream is my command.
Ai no corrida
I find myself
no other thought

Jusa you and nothing else
you and nothing else.
Before my heart saw you
Each day was just another day

Night the lonely interlude just came
then blow away.
You know
girl

Everything was come what may
until you fell in my life.
This spell that I'm under has caught me
I'm in a daze

Your lightning and thunder sets my poor heart ablaze.
You see
girl
you thrill me

Half kill me
that's what you do.
Ai no corrida
that's were I am
. . .
Ai no corrida
that's were I am
. . .
Ai no corrida
that's were I am
. . .
I hold you
I touch you
. . .
Pinch me
I'm dreaming
. . .
Ai no corrida
that's were I am
. . .
Ai no corrida
that's were I am
