Jesse:
I thought I was hopeless, I thought I was broken
I struggled to laugh when the whole room was joking
I'd wait in the cold, but the door wouldn't open 'til I
'Til I heard your voice in a dream
And nothing comes easy when everyone's rushing
The signal's got speed but there's no real connection
I tried reaching out, it was just my reflection 'til I
'Til I heard your voice in a dream
So sing to me and I will forgive you
For taking my heart in the suitcase you packed
Sing to me like the lights didn't blind you
Like you blinded me when I heard your voice in a dream
And I could have loved you but you had the hunger
For life in the lights, so when they called your number
I couldn't compete with the spell you were under
Still I, I hear your voice in my dreams
So sing to me and I will forgive you
For taking my heart in the suitcase you packed
Sing to me like the lights didn't blind you
Like you blinded me when I heard your voice in a dream
Nina:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Jesse:
I thought I could love you but you had the hunger
Nina:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Jesse:
Oh, nothing comes easy when everyone's rushing
Nina:
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Jesse:
I thought I could love you, I thought I could love you
