Lyrics

Who's ever known

How much to moan and groan And quiver inside He needs to give you Everything you need Is it enough

You're running out of time As it grows in your eye You'll feel Broken inside, you'll feel

Sigh, static moans A storm growing strong And it's coming my way Still she gives you Everything you need Is it enough

You're running out of time As it grows in your eye You'll feel Broken inside, you'll feel And I'll feel Broken inside, you'll feel

Broken inside, you'll feel ...

Demo

You've never known

How much you moan and groan When she's on you

She gives you Everything you need Is it enough?

You're running out of time As it grows in your mind

She's my kind of girl And you should know That I'll take her away

We've been waiting too long Waiting for the wrongs To just disappear

Still she gives you Everything you need It's not enough

You're running out of time As it grows in your mind

She's my kind of girl And you should know That I'll take her away She's my kind of girl And you should know That I'll take her away
