LYRICS:
Sigo teniendo el mismo sueño cada noche
You slipped beneath
My floors of memory
While I kept waiting and waiting and waiting
For you to appear
Only you don’t
You’re a dial tone in an empty home
I don’t care
I just wanna feel my soul again
I don’t care
I just wanna see
If you’ll feel the same
Feel the same
In my eyes
I don’t care
I just came to say
I want to see it
I don’t care
I just came to play
I wanna see if
You’ll feel the same
You won’t feel the same
In my eyes
You slipped beneath
My floors of memory
I kept waiting and waiting and waiting
For you to appear
Only in pain
Only in pain
I found my paradise
Only in pain
Only in pain
I found my paradise
I don’t care
I just wanna feel my soul again
I don’t care
I just wanna see
If you’ll feel the same
Feel the same
In my eyes
I don’t care
I just came to say
I want to see it
I don’t care
I just came to play
I wanna see if
You’ll feel the same
You won’t feel the same
In my eyes
Ooo.
Ooo.
I don’t care
I just wanna feel my soul again
I just wanna see
If you’ll feel the same
Feel the same
In my eyes
I don’t care
I just came to say
I want to see it
I don’t care
I just came to play
I wanna see if
You’ll feel the same
You won’t feel the same
In my eyes
