[Chorus]
Suffice to say
I could dance the night away with you
If you’d like to stay
Plant me in decay and watch me bloom
[Verse 1]
Only time
Your new fixation breaks my bones in all the right places
Honey, it’s true
That I could never take my eyes of you
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re my Shinigami
All you push is heartache upon me
Honey, it’s true
That I could never take my eyes of you
[Chorus]
Suffice to say
I could dance the night away with you
If you’d like to stay
Plant me in decay and watch me bloom
Suffice to say
I could dance the night away with you
If you’d like to stay
Plant me in decay and watch me bloom
[Verse 2]
His good intentions lacerate my empty redemption
Honey, it’s true
So why do I go crawling back to you?
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re my Shinigami
All you push is heartache upon me
Honey, it’s true
That I could never take my eyes of you
[Chorus]
Suffice to say
I could dance the night away with you
If you’d like to stay
Plant me in decay and watch me bloom
Suffice to say
I could dance the night away with you
If you’d like to stay
Plant me in decay and watch me bloom
[Bridge]
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
Suffice to say, that I could never take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
I can’t take my eyes off you
Suffice to say that I could never take my eyes off you
Keep on running
[Outro]
Suffice to say
I could dance the night away with you
If you’d like to stay
Plant me in decay and watch me bloom
(Call on me tonight, you know I'm right here waiting)
Suffice to say
I could dance the night away with you
(Call on me tonight, you know I'm right here waiting)
If you’d like to stay
Plant me in decay and watch me bloom
(Call on me tonight, you know I'm right here waiting)
Suffice to say
I could dance the night away with you
(Call on me tonight, you know I'm right here waiting)
If you’d like to stay
Plant me in decay and watch me bloom
