If only i can feel your stare now Oooh, cold air He keeps in shadow Once warm, now ceases to thaw My offering was simple Yet to get to our downfall In the tireless slumber, suffering from withdrawal And now I see your silence signs All along was love in your eyes If only I could feel your stare now Cold air! If only you would let me in now Cold air! If only I could feel your stare now Cold air! If only you would let me in now Cold air! Right into darkness, so endless Silence filling the air Looking for a sign to find the secret you're keeping It always have, always seems to keep me from leaving But I will sleep until it dies Nothing left here to. Falling to, to the ground If only you would let me in. Falling to, to the ground If only i could feel your st... Cold air In. oh Cold. If only I could feel your stare now Cold air! If only you would let me in now Cold air! If only I could feel your stare now Cold air! If only you would let me in now Cold air!

Not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world Who knows? Not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world
