About the Artist
Lyrics
If i speak my mind, will you hear me? If i reach to you, will you feel me? If i kissed you, would you love me? One less moment to break your heart One less love to tear apart Don't want to be your lover Don't want to be your friend The spell we've surrendered So just let me pretend You don't exist Our connection is fixed One more arrow to pierce your soul One more chance to let go In the mountain song, sing the echoes In the long meadows, chasin' shadows In the endless night you whisper endless praise Swear to god that you won't change Don't want to be your lover Don't want to be your friend Faith takes me over So just let me pretend You're not real Visions surreal Spirit channels Don't want to be your lover Don't want to be your friend If i fall in love, will you forgive me? If i lose my way, will you choose me? If i change my mind, will you change me?
