lyrics

i want to fall in love before i die
happy just knowing i didn't waste my time
don't want to spend my nights cold and lonely
i just want someone who really knows me

i need a love
a love that's so heavy
no little crush
i swear that i'm ready
i need a love
a love that's so heavy
no getting up
i swear that i'm ready right now

i want to give myself to someone real
someone who won't play games with the way i feel
i want that moon drunk love that laughs the whole night
leaves me jumping up and down and howling jesus christ

i need a love
a love that's so heavy
no little crush
i swear that i'm ready
i need a love
a love that's so heavy
no getting up
i swear that i'm ready right now
