[Verse 1]
Feel your every heartbeat
Feel you on these empty nights
Calm the ache, stop the shakes
You clear my mind
You're my escape
From this messed up place
'Cause you let me forget
You numb my pain
[Pre-Chorus]
How can I tell you just all that you are
What you do to me
[Chorus]
You're better than drugs
Your love is like wine
Feel you coming on so fast
Feel you coming to get me high
You're better than drugs
Addicted for life
Feel you coming on so fast
Feel you coming on to get me high
[Verse 2]
Feel you when I'm restless
Feel you when I cannot cope
You're my addiction, my prescription, my antidote
You kill the poison
Ease the suffering
Calm the rage when I'm afraid
To feel again
[Pre-Chorus]
How can I tell you just all that you are
What you do to me
[Chorus]
You're better than drugs
Your love is like wine
Feel you coming on so fast
Feel you coming to get me high
You're better than drugs
Addicted for life
Feel you coming on so fast
Feel you coming on to get me high
[Bridge]
How can I tell you just all that you are
What you do to me
Feel your every heartbeat
Feel you on these empty nights
You're the strength of my life
[Chorus]
You're better than drugs
Your love is like wine
Feel you coming on so fast
Feel you coming to get me high
You're better than drugs
Addicted for life
Feel you coming on so fast
Feel you coming on to get me high
[Outro]
Feel your every heartbeat
Feel you on these empty night
(Feel you coming on so fast
Feel you coming on to get me high)
Feel your every heartbeat
Feel you come to get me high
(Feel you coming on so fast
Feel you comin' on to get me high)
To get me high
