Obsession With You

It's never open
It's always dark
Can't be spoken
It's just a spark
Barely friend
Party line
Has been past
From your hand to mine
I'm gonna scream for you
Until my voice turns blue
With all these words that are
All brand new
It's just an obsession with you
An obsession with you
And I just can't fake it
An obsession with you
Wholly with you
And I just can't fake it
Why should I stay
Why should I get in your way
I want your smile on my lips
At your request an eclipse
I never knew that a?aker
Had such good taste
I'ts just an obsession with you
An obsession with you
And I just can't fake it
An obsession with you
An obsesion with you
And I just can't take it
Why should I stay
Why should I get in your way
I'll tell you my/"don't you like"
Jokes, you'll only laugh
Time can be stretched
It's not that you're off
I'll keep silent
As shown up/I'll shut up
Oh I'll declare it
And we're damned
You shot down
Then I land
In your desert
In your hand
Where I shall speak
It's just an obsession with you]
An obsession with you
And I just can't takit
An obsession with you
Wholly with you
And I just can't fakit
Why should I stay
Why should I get in your way
It's just an obsession with you
Obsession with you
And I just can't fake it
An obsession with you
Wholly with you
And I just can't fake it
Oh why should I stay
Why should I get in your way
It's just an obsession
