美国偶像 You Give Me Something - James Morrison

You want to stay with me in the morning

You only hold me when I sleep,

I was¹ meant to tread² the water

Now I've gotten in too deep³,

For every piece of me that wants you

Another piece backs away.

'Cause⁴ you give me something

That makes me scared⁵, alright,

This could⁶ be nothing

But I'm willing⁷ to give it a try,

Please give me something

'Cause someday⁸ I might⁹ know my heart¹⁰.

You already¹¹ waited up for hours

Just to spend a little time alone¹² with me,

And I can say I've never bought you flowers

I can't work out what the mean,

I never thought¹³ that I'd love someone¹⁴,

That was someone else's dream¹⁵.

'Cause you give me something

That makes me scared, alright,

This could be nothing

But I'm willing to give it a try,

Please give me something,

'Cause someday I might call you from my heart,

But it might me a second too late,

And the words I could never say

Gonna come out anyway¹⁶.

'Cause you give me something

That makes me scared, alright,

This could be nothing

But I'm willing to give it a try,

Please give me something,

'Cause you give me something

That makes me scared, alright,

This could be nothing

But I'm willing to give it a try,

Please give me something

'Cause someday I might know my heart.

Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
