115
You are 17
Itchy trigger
And venomous
You're growing longer
You're growing stronger
So shed your skin
Baby now shed this
Come on over now
Come on over baby
You tell me it's holy holy
I don't know what it is
Come on over now
Let's call it the fullness of time
And I don't know what it is
Come on over now
Hey holy
Console me
Some power
Controls me
Remorse it
I force it
Can't free it
So be it
I'm speaking in tongues
Handling you
And I got religion now look at it
The days grow longer
As we grow stronger
So shed your skin baby
Let it rip
Come on over now
Come on over baby
Tell me it's holy holy
I don't know what that is
Come on over child
I want to call it the fullness of time
I don't know if it is
Come on over now
Hey holy me
Console me
Some power
Controls me
Remorse it
I force it
Don't free it
Just be it
Just be it
Just be it
I'm looking to find you
But it's a little to late
To
Well I look and doubt
If i
In you
In you
I got the hangman
I got milagro
I got the celebration too
The flesh is strong
My spirit's stronger
So shed your skin
Baby let through
Come on over now
Come on over baby
Tell me it's holy holy
Like I don't know what it is
Come on over child
I want to call it the fullness of time
I don't know what it is
Come on over now
Hey holy
Console me
Some power
Controls me
Remorse it
I force it
Can't free it
So be it
Hey holy
Console me
Some power
Controls me
Come on over baby
