Song Lyrics

How come it's always 'goodnight' when the longing sets in
Edging in closer, fighting the lure of this thing
I'm holding out, but losing ground
Strange fascination with danger drawing me in
Standing so near to the fire, but not yet burning
Too close now to turn back round

[Chorus:]
Throw me a line I think I'm falling, oh
Doin' it hard, I dropped my guard
Kinda went too far
Throw me a line I'm falling, woah

I can't be sure, I think I want more
But all I know is I want to be close to you
Suddenly weakened I find I'm inviting you in
Relentless, persuading, enticing me into sweet sin
Defenses down, vulnerable now

[Chorus]

I can't be sure, I think I want more
But all I know is I want to be close to you
Falling from grace into the fire
I dive into the moment
And lose everything else
All for desire

Throw me a line I, I know for sure this time
You got me falling, oh
I close my eyes, spin and slide
Hopin' I'm alright
Throw me a line I'm falling, woah

Intoxicated to be near, I fear
But what's clear, I want to be close to you

[Chorus]

I can't be sure, I think I want more
But all I know is I want to be close to you
