Never had a point of view
'Cause my mind was always someone else's mind

I never had to tell a lie
Cause I left the choices up to them
Don't know why but I did

Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breath in it's love

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

I never had to call the tune
'Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon
(Ah la luna, my love, my love, my love)

I would go out every night
Looking for someone to treat me right
Not a chance (chance) not a hope (hope) 
In this world (world)

Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breath in it's love

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

(More)

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time 
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be coming back for more (more)
(oh yeah) (More)
