Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm You splash me with beauty and pull me down 'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh My glance turns to a stare Obsession rules me, I'm yours from the start I know you see me, our eyes interlock 'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh My glance turns to a stare One minute here and one minute there Don't know if I'll laugh or cry One minute here and one minute there And then you wave goodbye Sifting to the bottom, every day for two All energy funnels, all becomes you 'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh My glance turns to a stare One minute here and one minute there Don't know if I'll laugh or cry One minute here and one minute there And it hurts inside One minute here and one minute there And then you wave goodbye (goodbye)
