Don't be like the one who left behind his name
Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came

And nobody ever came

I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
