I dream of a day
When I dare to believe
You're the answer

When the shame
And the guilt are removed
And the truth appears

Of the touch of your hand
I lose who I am
If I want to

I try to resist but
Succumb to the bliss
Of your kiss

You should be higher
I'll take you higher
Well don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray

Your lies are more attractive
Than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down now
In your book
Love is all I want

Your arms are infected
They're holding the truth
Oh stop all your crying
This one you'll lose

You should be higher
I'll take you higher
So don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray

Your lies are more attractive
Than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down now
In your book
Love is all I want
 
You should be higher
You should be higher

Love, love 
Love, love
