Song Lyrics

You say you want my love, then I'm a believer
You reach out your hand to me then I'm gonna hold it
You fill my eyes with your smiles, my brain with your chemicals
I forgot to say, forgot to say
Gotta say something dumb anyway
And everything is the lay that gets in between us
And every kiss is a count in time to the next one
This time we'll run to the sheets and really, baby
You'll wanna make something else, something new
Something different, something with you

You know my heart feels the hurt when you turn the heat up
Sometimes, we're missing the "m'am" when it's time to stand up
I feel the pressure like I hear music
I'm only doing the best I can, the best I can
I am trying the best I can

With nobody else left to call
With nobody else left at all
When you finally back down, get your back up off the wall

What else is there left to know?
It wasn't us four months ago
'Till somebody backed down, somebody backed down
From the show

This time I come up for love
This time I come up for love

You say you want my love, then I'm a believer
You reach out your hand to me then I'm gonna hold it
You fill my eyes with your smiles, my brain with your chemicals
I forgot to say, forgot to say
I just say something dumb

Oh lover, don't you fake it
Oh lover, won't you figure it out?

With nobody else left to call
With nobody else left at all
When you finally back down, get your back up off the wall
What else is there left to know?
It wasn't us four years ago
'Till somebody stood
Picked ourselves up off the floor

This time I come up for love
This time I come up for love
