Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
I get swept away
When I think of you
Take me to that place
Where it's control I lose
I'm soothed by you
You take it all away
I lose to you
Surrendered at the start of the game
I'll never deceive
Right here I'll always be
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
Hide away
I hide away with you
I like the world just slip away
And I'm left with you
You light up the sky
Unshadow the moon
The moments we share
Always end too soon
Part of you stays a while
Even when you're far away
How so far away
Yet you feel so near
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
