GYoung and full of running
Tell me whCadd9ere has that taken me?
Just a grAmeat figure eDight or a tiny inGfinity?
GLove is really nothing
But a drCadd9eam that keeps waking me
For all of my trAmying, we still end up dDying, how can it Gbe?
[Chorus]
Cadd9Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with Gme
Cadd9'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I sGee
Cadd9I want you so bad, I'll go back on the things I belGieve
Cadd9There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about Gme
[Verse 2]
So yGoung and full of running
All the wCadd9ay to the edge of desire
Steady my brAmeathing, silently scrDeaming, I have to Ghave you now

Think I'll Cadd9sleep in my clothes on the floor
Or maybe this mAmattress will spin on its Daxis and find me on Gyours
[Chorus]
Cadd9Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with Gme
