Lyrics
[Music]
When, oh when, oh when...oh when will you see
If you want me to play-on, you have to let go now
When, oh when, oh when.....will you let me be
If you want me to come back, I have to go free now
Sometimes I feel,
that you only want to shield my body from those seducing eyes
Sometimes I feel,
that you simply want to own my soul and my time
[Music]
When, oh when, oh when.....will you let me go
If you really want to see my actual self now
When, oh when, oh when.....will you soar out of your window
And when will you learn to watch me from high above now
Sometimes I feel you just play a game ...
... brush-me-off and then kiss me fine
Sometimes I feel you do that
and I get too tired, and just sit & sigh
[Music]
I guess you'll want to tell me all that I already know
Why don't you accept inevitabilities & just let it go
You will want to thrash things out till the end of both our energies
Grilling me while you scream & shout till we both collapse into sleep
[Music]
Sometimes I feel,
and really wish you could get yourself a little bit high
Sometimes I feel,
You don't do much to get out of your zone to see the world go by
