Lyrics

Swept Away

I get swept away When I think of you Take me to that place Where it's control I lose I'm soothed by you, you take it all away I lose to you, surrendered at the start of the game I'll never deceive We're right here, always been Hide away, I hide away with you I let the world just slip away I'm left with you Your little masquerade, I'm sure of the mood The moments we've shared Always ended too soon Part of you stays a while Even when you're far away How so far away, yet you feel so near
