[English]

I know you want me

Cant run away, cant run away from me

Ill navigate the seven seas just to find you

Cant hide away, cant hide away from me

Ill be your shadow when the sun dont shine

I'll be your fly on the wall

Your wrecking ball

Your wake up call on a sleepless night

Ill be your cigarette smoke

Your Junkies dope

Youll be hanging by a thread and Ill be holding the rope

Cars and planes and boats wont do

Yeah you can be sure Ill find you

I know you want me

Why wont you see me?

If I suffer then youll too

Im not alone out in the blue

You cant escape me

I wont just disappear

Cant fly away, cant fly away from me

Ill grab your wings and pull back down

Cant walk away, cant walk away from me

Cant you understand were meant to be?

Ill be the soles on your feet

Your sticky sheet

Your big black cloud on a sunny day

I'll be your shoulders chip

Your sinking ship

Dont try to turn the pages, it's not that easy to spit

Cars and planes and boats wont do

Yeah you can be sure Ill find you

I know you want me

Why wont you see me?

If I suffer then youll too

Im not alone out in the blue

You cant escape me

I wont just disappear

Dont throw it all away

Because Ill be back for loving

I know you want me
