Wake me up


Wake Me Up I should ink my skin with your name See I could do without a tan On my left hand Where my fourth finger meets my knuckle And I should run you a hot bath Fill it up with bubbles Cause maybe you're loveable Maybe you're my snowflake And your eyes turn from green to gray And in the winter I'll hold you in a cold place And you should never cut your hair Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder And you will never know Just how beautiful you are to me But maybe I'm just in love When you wake me up

Some like it simple, some like it sweet. Either way it goes, I'll still be me. Been rollin' on the river of love for quite some time now, but it seems my boats about to go down. Funny thing is, I'm in here alone, and I'm staring at my reflection, while I contemplate my home. It seems I am alone on this dark rolling sea, which started as a flower, but now is stinging like a bee. My words are not simple, they aren't tranquil, they may be brash, but if you aren't careful you'll find your soul strangled in my clasp.
