CRAZY HE CALLS ME !

I say I’ll move the mountains and I’ll move the mountains

Crazy he calls me.  Sure I’m crazy!  Crazy in love.

I’ll go through fire, as he wants it, so it will be

Like the wind that shakes the bough, he moves me with a smile

The impossible will take a little while

I’ll care forever. And I mean forever even if I have to hold up the sky

I SCARE MYSELF !

They say I’m crazy. But the whole world has gone mad.

They think I’m dangerous. I might agree with that.

When everything I touch will break.

Loving you is my escape.

So come on give me what I crave. I want it. Do you want it?

I scare myself with the way that I need you.

There’s no one else.

Tell me that you can feel it too.

I’d crawl through hell if it meant that I could keep you.

When you whisper my name my head is spinning.

You make me feel insane.

The moment that our skin collides, there’s nothing left for me to hide.

I have finally learned to fly.
