I feel my wings have broken in your hands
I feel the words unspoken inside
And they pull you under
And I would give you anything you want, know
You were all I wanted
And all my dreams are falling down
Crawling around

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through and
Save me
I don't care how you do it
Just stay, stay
Oh come on
I've been waiting for you

I see the world has folded in your heart
I feel the waves crash down inside
And they pulled me under
I would give you anything you want, know
You were all I wanted
And all my dreams have fallen down
Crawling around

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just stay, stay
Come on
I've been waiting for you

Crawling around

Somebody save me
Let your warm hands break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save me
I made this whole world shine for you
Just stay, stay
Come on
I'm still waiting for you
