Lyrics

Steady

Steady, steady, steady
You steady touch our love so much, I'm sleepless
Oh God, oh God, oh God
God, I'm only human and I'm helpless
Steady, steady, steady
You steady touch our love so much, I'm sleepless

Rabbit in a snare, why you sleeping softly in your bed?
When unruly wild blood is pumping, why you running scared?
Why you running scared?
Rabbit in a snare, why you sleeping softly in your bed?
Why you running scared?

Steady, steady, steady
You steady touch our love so much, I'm sleepless
Oh God, oh God, oh God
God, I'm only human and I'm helpless

And the line will read that I was never here
(Can you see from where you're standing?)
And the line will read that I was never here
(Can you hear where I'm coming from?)
And the line will read that I was never here
(Can you see from where you're standing?)
And the line will read that I was never here
(Can you hear where I'm coming from?)

Rabbit in a snare while you're sleeping softly in your bed
(Can you see from where you're standing?)
And the line will read that I was never here
Red, unruly, wild blood is pumping, why you running scared?
(Can you hear where I'm coming from?)
Rabbit in a snare while you're sleeping softly in your bed
Why you running scared?

Steady, steady, steady
You steady touch our love so much, I'm sleepless
Oh God, oh God, oh God
God, I'm only human and I'm helpless
