Ahh
Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
(I need more affection than you know)
[Chorus]
In you and I
There's a new land
Angels in flight
Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
(I need more affection than you know)
My sanctuary
My sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
(I need more affection than you know)
What's left of me
What's left of me now
I watch you
Fast asleep
All I fear
Means nothing
In you and I
There's a new land
Angels in flight
Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
(I need more affection than you know)
My sanctuary
My sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
"Music will tie"
*Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I*
(I need more affection than you know)
What's left of me
What's left of me
*Snwod DNA spu ynam os*
(So many ups and downs)
My heart's a battleground
*Snoitome owt deen I*
(I need true emotions)
But
*Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I*
(I need more affection than you know)
*Snoitome owt deen I*
(I need true emotions)
You show me how to see
That nothing is whole
And nothing is broken
In you and I
There's a new land
"Angels in flight"
*Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I*
(I need more affection than you know)
My sanctuary
My sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
"Music will tie"
*Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I*
(I need more affection than you know)
What's left of me
What's left of me now
Ooh
My fears
My lies
Melt away
I
Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
(I need more affection than you know)
