Heart like an anchor
Your head spilling over
Beautiful baby
Well how they adore ya
You'll go away but they're still chasing after
Rolling around in the weeds
While they ramble on
Straight for this life
I’ll come running
Straight for this life
I’ll come running
I’ll be ready soon
Now and again
They can still make you wonder
How to begin
With the spell that you're under
Talking away but they're still
Saying nothing
You'll hang around but your will
May be broken than
Straight for this life
I’ll come running
Straight for this life
I’ll come running
I’ll be ready soon
