You
by: Matt SkibaIts alive once again
I feel it pounding in my chest and it hurts like it should
A sharp pain that feels so good
With your arms ‘round my neck leaving me a melting wreck
Now with you by my side I can breathe once again I have nothing to hide
And You - I watched you dancing, you
Out of the ashes, you - dreams of demons kissing in the fire so deeply
You - ya found me hopeless
You - ya gave me solace
You - dying for your kiss I can’t imagine my life without you
Its alive once again
I feel it pounding in my head and it kills all the pain
It’s been powerless vicodin with your hands on my face
Pulling me out of my hiding place with your mouth upon mine
I can breathe once again I do nothing but smile
And you - I watched you dancing
You - out of the ashes, you - dreams of demons kissing in the fire so deeply
You - ya found me hopeless
You - ya gave me solace
you - I’m dying for your kiss I can’t imagine my life without you
Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me
you’re the name of the place where time stands still
Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me
Dismembering this memory its true, I lost myself in you
You - I watched you dancing you
You - out of the ashes
You - Dreams of demons kissing in the fire so deeply
You - ya found me hopeless
You - ya gave me solace
