lyrics

Verse 1

I pulled up with three hours sleep,
my legs feel like lead.
And traffic is seven cars wide,
I crave for a bed.
But you shine a light in my veins,
not sure who holds the reigns,
but I am in no pain.

Chorus

Well I left home just hours ago, and you my love are haunting me so.

Verse 2

Your voice has never felt so close,
in all of our time.
I struggle to get the message through,
and I trip over the line.
But you gather round at my feet,
and I don’t touch the ground,
I’m lost and then I’m found.

Chorus

Well I left home just hours ago, and you my love are haunting me so.
Well I left home just hours ago, and you my love are haunting me so.

Outro

Now I’ve sat down by the ocean,
and a big wave jumps over my shoulders,
the water lifts all around me, and the birds fly out of the palm trees.
And I feel home for a minute,
I feel like love is a spirit,
and you haunt me in all my waking hours,
you haunt me, where do you get your power?
