Lyrics
There's something about this girl, some kind of magic I swear she cast a spell on me Not the first time, might be the last Can't let this moment slip away Try to find the words, none sit right with me Air of confidence, but I can barely breathe She's without a care, electrified and hell-bent A thousand volts igniting me Her waves crash over me, far below out of reach The undertow, my reverie Sadness in her smile Love, it's been a while Near but far away, she chases it each day A promise to come back, all the while, still waiting Seems it lost its way Out of reach, just too hard to reach You're letting your life slip away Out of reach, yeah, it's hard to reach There's another day Although you're hurting and afraid You're stronger than yesterday
