lyrics

Take my body, take my mind
Take any part of me left that you can find
'Cause until I can have you, I'm empty inside
And you look beautiful as ever

I'm gonna take you away to where the earth and the sea end
We're gonna fall off the edge just like falling in love again
And when we're finally floating in the darkness, that's when
We're gonna shine like the sun and never end

Take my money, take my time
Girl, you can have anything that I would call mine
'Cause I'm hoping I can have you
Or at least a little part of you, baby
'Cause I can't stop thinking 'bout you

I'm gonna take you away to where the earth and the sea end
We're gonna fall off the edge just like falling in love again
And when we're finally floating in the darkness, that's when
We're gonna shine like the sun and never end

The hardest part is knowing
That you feel the same as I do
But I just can't help showing
My love for you

I'm gonna take you away to where the earth and the sea end
We're gonna fall off the edge just like falling in love again
And when we're finally floating in the darkness, that's when
We're gonna shine like the sun and never end
