A love song that compares my experiences with drug addiction to being in unrequited love.
lyrics
When I can't see you it's like time has stopped and I'm still standing,
The passing of days feels like weeks or years or more
But every time I get that fleeting sense of feeling something
I crave it, I need it, I want it, can't get it,
and you won't look my way.
But oh, I need more, (No more...)
Your mind's like a drug; Your heart's like a drug
And oh, I can't say (Don’t say...)
What I want, what I need,
Would you come to me?
My amphetamine...
Amphetamine
I never tried to hide the way I felt or how it looked but
Still you could never understand, or didn't try
But every time I hear your voice it's like I'm living again
I need you, I want you, why won't you, why can't I?
And then you're gone again.
But oh, I need more (No more...)
Your care's like a drug; Your soul's like a drug
And oh, I can't say (Don’t say...)
What I want, what I need,
Just a little more, please
My amphetamine.
Your gaze is hard as ice but mine burns like a fire
And if you touch me all it does is take me higher
I can't come down from it, so out of breath and cold
I'm dying where I stand but I've never felt so bold
And oh, I need more! (No more!)
Your heart's like a drug
I can't get enough
And oh, please, (Don’t, please!)
All I need, all I need
Is a little more, please
Amphetamine
Amphetamine
