My obsession
Your desire
Come let me lead you
To the fire
Show some mercy
My pounding heart
Can't take much more of this
You've got play your part
Bodies yearning
Is this for real?
Words cannot express the way
I really fee
l Passion burning
You ignite the flame
We touch, we come alive
We'll never be the same again
Chorus:
The closer I get to you
The more I reveal is true
And something inside of me
Burns my reality
Use your imagination
Exorcise
See your future
Through my eyes
No salvation
Nowhere to hide
We're one dimension
We're one inside
Is this perfection
Taken to extreme?
We're drowning in a sea of possibilities
Pure emotion
You can't conceal
We touch, we come alive
We'll know that this time it's for real
(Chorus)
Bodies yearning
Is this for real?
Words cannot express the way
I really feel
Passion burning
You ignite the flame
We touch, we come alive
We'll never be the same again
(Chorus)
