Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
So wicked in the way he moves
Don't miss it
Do not be a fool
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a long way, it's a long way home
Light inside of me
It ignites my bones
[Chorus]
He comes to me in my dreams
And tells me what I need to know
He makes me feel so at ease
And guides me to the lights above
I just wanna fall into his arms tonight
Someone tell me I, I will be alright
Hold on tight
[Verse 2]
Remembering, I forever will
Surrendering, just to how we felt
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a long way
It's a long way home
Light inside of me
It ignites my bones
[Chorus]
He comes to me in my dreams
And tells me what I need to know
He makes me feel so at ease
And guides me to the lights above
I just wanna fall into his arms tonight
Someone tell me I, I will be alright
Hold on tight
[Bridge]
And when it's all the thunder and rain
The cinema is fading away
I gotta make my way through the night
Holding on with all of my might
And when I'm lost, and I can't find the way
I feel the pieces breaking away
Hug myself with all of my might
Don't let go, just hold on tight
[Chorus]
He comes to me in my dreams
And tells me what I need to know
He makes me feel so at ease
And guides me to the lights above
I just wanna fall into his arms tonight
Someone tell me I, I will be alright
Hold on tight
