(Reaction!

I need a, I need a reaction!)

On a backstreet in the hardest part of town

I'm fucked up 'cause you're no longer around

I listen for a heartbeat

And my mind breaks, 'cause I know I let you down

And I'm scared that what's lost cannot be found

I listen for your heartbeat

You're rolling

The police are patrolling

Patron and ice are flowing [?]

But you're done with me

Oh, it's a final season

And if you're not leaving

Then I need a, I need a reaction

Oh, give you a reason

To keep on believing

Well I need a, I need a reaction

I need a, I need a reaction

And we move fast 'cause we knew, if we slow down

Pieces of our love would hit the ground

You're feeling for a heartbeat

And the room spins in a dirty dancing hall

And you won't be there again to watch me fall

You look at me in the eyes like it's the last time

Then you turn away when I need you now...

I'm rolling

The police are patrolling

Patron and ice are flowing [?]

But you're done with me

Oh, it's a final season

And if you're not leaving

Then I need a, I need a reaction

Oh, give you a reason

To keep on believing

Well I need a, I need a reaction

I need a, I need a reaction

Your roses are red and my veins are blue

You see the love in my eyes, whatcha gonna do?

Your roses are dead and my veins are, too

You see the life in my eyes, whatcha gonna do?

You're staring at me but you don't make a move

Well, we ain't got a lotta time, so whatcha gonna do?

I can change, I can change, I can change

I can change for you

Oh, it's a final season

And if you're not leaving

Then I need a, I need a reaction

Oh, give you a reason

To keep on believing

Well I need a, I need a reaction

I need a, I need a reaction

I need a, I need a reaction
