Captured effortlessly (Snuck up behind me)

That moment I wanted to be just by myself

Back to the scene of the crime

To question myself don't do no good

But I'd do it again and again

The agony was worth it to me

Just like lightning in the distance

That quickly she perfected my existence

Feel your body tremble

When the tip of my finger touches your skin

See your body crumble

When I scratch your back and dig my nails in

That night we kissed

I forgot what I'd done

But I felt like I could walk a tightrope

Wrapped around her finger

Took just one look to see

Her whirlpooling blue eyes

Just got the best of me

Then she rendered me senseless

Intoxicating me, leaving me defenseless

I looked up to the sky

Now our blood flows together

Still I'm mesmerized

Feel your body tremble

When the tip of my finger touches your skin

See your body crumble

When I scratch your back and dig my nails in

Feel your body tremble

When the tip of my tongue touches your lips

See your walls crumble

You pick up the pieces and start all over again

You know, I'm tired, you know, I'm weak

I'm so tired, so tired

You know, I'm tired, you know, I'm weak

I'm so tired, so tired

Can't keep me down, no

Not now the hunt is on

You can't beat me down, no

Anticipated for so long

You can't keep me down

I've got the taste, I've got the scent

You can't beat me down

Not from what was heaven sent

Slipping on through the night

A bullet wrapped in vaseline

Like a loco locomotive

Full o' nitro glycerin

Like a runaway freight train

Stopping at nothing it sees

Complete loss of control

Bring a man to his knees

Feel your body tremble

When the tip of my finger touches your skin

See your body crumble

When I scratch your back and dig my nails in

Feel your body tremble

When the tip of my tongue touches your lips

See your walls crumble

You pick up the pieces — and start all over again
