Say Anything - The Shape Of Love To Come lyrics

(feat. Sherri Dupree-Bemis) [Verse 1 - Max Bemis:] They say it takes some time to find the one you're meant for I spent that time in stranger's beds Had my mom pick me up at 5:30 in the morning From a downtown loft where the Cthulhu inside me was fed But now he's dead And as these writers age, they run out of conflict to chronicle Become flabby and mundane But what we built in hell is anything but boring It's the kind of love-lust that could drive a madman insane [Pre-Chorus - Max Bemis:] And the truth is I can't be aroused unless I'm in love So thank God I found you, thank God I found you [Chorus - Max Bemis and Sherri Dupree-Bemis:] And I want you And I need you, now and forever And I want you And I need you, now and forever [Verse 2 - Max Bemis:] With no irony, I'll exclaim, "You Are My Shelter" As I sing along to your sister's tune And you have built these walls since you were smaller than Lucy I'm gonna break them down in the sheets of our shadowy room [Pre-Chorus - Max Bemis:] The truth is I can't be around unless I'm in love So thank God I found you, thank God I found you [Chorus] [Bridge - Sherri Dupree-Bemis:] "As I wrestle with my broken breath I've got these scratches and sores I watch you lit up by a machine This is more than I can afford It's got me tangled and tongue-tied Heaving blackened lungs I pay penance for the things I think I've lost, and all I've done So can you guide me, Sandman, with our bodies warm? The only way I'll lapse into this coma Is the spark of your sweet storm The sound of rain in a graveyard The sound of us escalates So tell me that you want me, need me And that it's not too late." [Outro - Max Bemis:] Soon you'll fall asleep So breathe out the fear right now All I really want to do is stay in bed with you And make you happy Soon you'll fall asleep So breathe in the night right now All I really want to do is be inside of you And make you happy Make you happy, make you happy Make you happy, make you happy
