I'm coming down again, across the yellow room
Our lives are disconnected much too soon
I understand that I'm not the one you need
But we're tied to the things that we can't control
And now it's washin' over me
I don't need to make you mine
I don't need to compromise
I don't need to magnify what's lost
And I don't wanna drag you in
To what you can't escape, my friend
I just wanna turn inside, in here
Yeah, the bees fly by like a chaos in the slats
I need a dream, I can't escape
Got no place to run and hide
And I need your kiss
Like a drifting morning mist
I get sucked into the theater
Alright, I can't resist
Babe, I know it's getting late
I don't wanna hesitate
Never want to make you wait so long
'Cause you got to fight to win
You know I can't let go again
I just wanna turn inside and peer
You won't interfere
I'm not asking you, I'm returning
Wake me up when the lights go low
I'm just wasted, but you're lost in London
Sometimes you just ain't getting enough
You've been on my mind
The days you move so slow
I'm just tired in a way that I can't explain
It's like I'm losing all control
I was laying and
My hands are cold as you lost your metal wings
I'm alive, and I'm trying not to think too hard
About it coming back again
I just wanna learn to fly
Under these romantic skies
I don't need to compromise our love
But I'm about to drag you in
And no you can't go home again
I just wanna learn in time to heal
I'm not asking you
I'm returning
Wake me up when you're lights go low
I'm just wasted and you
Are lost in London
Sometimes you just ain't good enough
I just want to learn to turn it off and
I just wanna run to town
Uhm, let's do that again
