How do you feel
Can you see the colors babe
You're my friend
But I want you
And isn’t it clear
I think about it night and day
It doesn't make sense
But I want you
We've got no good reason
We don’t even need one anymore
Do what you want
I'll take my things and go
It's like you said
Do I want to
Oh
We'll play it cool
Yeah girl you already know
That I've been dead
But I want to
We've got no good reason
We don't need
Oh
She don't want me anymore
But I still stick around
And you know
We’ll try again to find some more
But I will shake the ground
Yeah will shake the ground
It’s been so hot
I've been so lonely here
I can’t stop
'Cause I want you
Oh, oh oh
I'm walking in the dark
Oh, it's all my hopes and fears
And I'll climb to the top
Because I want you ohhh oh oh
We’ve got no good reason
We don't need oh
She don't want me anymore
But I still stick around
And you know
We'll try again to find some more
But I will shake the ground
Yeah 'cause oh
We'll dance around on the dirty floor
But you know it'll take you down
Yeah you know
She don't want me anymore
But I still shake her down
Yeah we shake the ground
Oh we'll shake the ground
Girl you shake the ground
