Compulsion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I never meant to be this way,
Never thought that I could change,
Until you woke me with your touch
And now they see it in my eyes,
You're the craving of my life;
I want you more than words could say
You’re in my head
You’re in my head
You touch my skin, you keep me warm,
Bring me closer to the sun
You're the reason, my desire
I feel serenity in all,
Heavy waves of gentle love,
Soothing whispers from the stars
Oh, in my dreams
In my dreams
Such a singleminded lust,
To be there once is not enough;
You change your point of view once stung
And this is where I want to be;
No anxiety or fear,
A quiet moment in your arms
If you could see just what I've seen
If you could see just what I've seen
If you could see just what I've seen
If you could see what I have seen,
Would you believe?
