On ever wave that breaks
In ever soul that aches
You know it, the feeling
You want somebody
The message is loud and clear
I wonder if you can hear
This beating repeating
Inside my body
It only comes on me when I know you're near
I hear the message calling fire fire
Love is a language that tells no lies
I hear heartbeat
I feel love rise
I lose all control in your eyes
I hear heartbeat
I feel love rise
I'm close enough to know you know why
The rhythm of my passion grows
I feel it down in my soul
The promise the promise
That you'll discover
I'm reading your mind and if you're reading mine
The current is burning up the wire higher
