Lyrics
What is this thing we call desire?
That leads me here to you
Is it to my truth or just a liar?
Sent to break my heart in two
What is this burning deep inside me?
That drives me down this road
Sometimes it takes me up to heaven
Sometimes it leaves me cold
I guess I've always been a dreamer
Bare foot I stand upon the shore
I try to understand our meaning
And why we always ache for more
Cause I just want to hold you
And I mean, not just in my mind
I want to, dance with the moon
Get drunk on a ray of real sunshine
I just want to hold you
I want to, catch a falling star
Maybe Chase a rainbow
I wanna be whatever,
forever, together, wherever you are
Are you just another weakness?
A lesson here to learn
Or am I the lucky caller?
Perhaps it is finally my turn
Cause I see everybody is running
Seems we all have got our role
Maybe we are merely characters
In the theater of the Soul
I guess I've always been a dreamer
Bare foot I stand upon the shore
I try to understand our meaning
And why we always,
Why we always ache for more
Cause I just want to hold you
And I mean, not just in my mind
I want to, dance with the moon
Get drunk on a ray of real sunshine
I just want to hold you
I want to, catch a falling star
Maybe Chase a rainbow
I wanna be whatever,
forever, together, wherever you are
Well, I just missed the sunset as it came down on the 4th of July
and I just missed my train I was remembering your smile
I almost climbed a mountain and I almost touched the sky
I almost kissed an angel the day that I almost called you mine
Well, there is a ghost outside my window. It has been there more than once
I just wish that when I reach out it was something I could touch
Hey, something baby something
oh yeah something baby something I could touch
Give me something I can touch now baby, yeah
Cause I just want to hold you
And I mean, not just in my mind
I want to, dance with the moon
Get drunk on a ray of real sunshine
I just want to hold you
I want to, catch a falling star
Maybe Chase a rainbow
I wanna be whatever,
forever, together, wherever you are
Cause I just want to hold you
And I mean, not just in my mind
I want to, dance with the moon
Get drunk on a ray of real sunshine
I just want to hold you
I want to, catch a falling star
Maybe Chase a rainbow
I wanna be whatever,
forever, together, wherever you are
Well I just missed the sunset as
It came down on the fourth of July
And I just missed my train
I was remembering your smile
I almost climbed a mountain and
I almost touched the sky
I almost kissed an angel
The day that I almost called you mine
There is a ghost outside my window
It has been there more than once
I just wish that when I reach out
It was something I could touch
Something, something something baby
Something, something, something I could touch
Give me something I can touch now baby yeah
Cause I just want to hold you
And I mean, not just in my mind
I want to, dance with the moon
Get drunk on a ray of real sunshine
I just want to hold you
I want to, catch a falling star
Maybe Chase a rainbow
I wanna be whatever,
forever, together, wherever you are
