I like your taste in tunes and everything you ooze
The tempo of your beat, your bleeding melody
And no one can control that old time rock ‘n’ roll
No rule of gravity, and hey
Can I follow you back to your room?
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Can I follow you back to your arms?
Wash it all off in the river of your heart
There’s a million different songs that I’ve learned to sing
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Your holiness will never be lost on me
So reach out in love and don’t be a stranger
Don’t be a stranger now
Turn up the stereo, the sound is taking hold
You dance like no one sees, a private galaxy
The music of your soul, a symphony composed
Your words aren’t wasted on me, and hey
Can I follow you back to your room?
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Can I follow you back to your arms?
Wash it all off in the river of your heart
There’s a million different songs that I’ve learned to sing (watching you)
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Your holiness will never be lost on me
So reach out in love (reach out) and don’t be a stranger
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Can I follow you back to your room? (I’m gonna follow you down)
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Can I follow you back to your arms? (Take me back to you)
Wash it all off in the river of your heart
There’s a million different songs that I’ve learned to sing
Watching you bloom in the light of the moon
Your holiness will never be lost on me
So reach out in love and don’t be a stranger
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don’t know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you (oh)
Because of you (mm, oh)
