Praying for something I know that you got
Oh, won't you show me the way?
And loving and leaving me, no, it's no good
But here we go again

Because I'm so terrified when I get close to you
I get close to you, got me rising
I'm so terrified, I'm so high, that's what you do
There ain't no way to explain
It's a feeling, love, and healing
That I need and I can't go down
I'm so terrified when I get close to you
When I'm close to you
Got me rising

There, there, me rising
There, there, got me rising
There, there, me rising
There, there, got me rising

Breaking me, making me feel so alive
Excuses, you're wearing me down
There's something about you that I can't escape
And we go 'round and 'round

Because I'm so terrified when I get close to you
I get close to you, got me rising
I'm so terrified, I'm so high, that's what you do
There ain't no way to explain
It's a feeling, love, and healing
That I need and I can't go down
I'm so terrified when I get close to you
When I'm close to you
Got me rising

Whoa-ah, whoa-ah
Whoa-ah (got me rising)
Whoa-ah, whoa-ah
Whoa-ah (got me rising)

I'm so terrified when I get close to you
I get close to you, got me rising
I'm so terrified, I'm so high, that's what you do
There ain't no way to explain
It's a feeling, love, and healing
That I need and I can't go down now
I'm so terrified when I get close to you
When I'm close to you
Got me rising
