Series Version
Won’t you come my way?

My self-restraint is crumbling.

It’s just me, so don’t you be afraid..

A flightless bird was dreaming

That it could touch the sky,

But that blue colour’s changing

To a bright shade of red.

Somebody’s knocking on my door,

I cover my ears at the sound.

Could it be you I’m waiting for?

Or is it someone else?

Will your lips taste the kiss of death...?

Darling, destiny is racing through my body.

World in motion, finally

Could this be love?

Let me melt away in your embrace, my darling.

It’s just me, so don’t you be afraid.

Kiss me now!

It’s just me, so don’t you be afraid.

Kiss me now!

I just want a taste.

I’m sorry if that’s strange…

But it takes two to find love

And to kindle that flame

We hold each other close to heal

All of the scars fresh in our hearts,

And if you let me, I will steal

The breath left upon your lips...

Will your lips taste the kiss of death...?

Darling, my heartbeat is racing through my body.

Oh this love is melting me, but I don’t mind.

Won’t you come my way?

My self-restraint is crumbling.

It’s just me, so don’t you be afraid.

Kiss me now, my love!

I came close to facing my own end,

But it was the taste of you that led me back instead.

Did your lips taste the kiss of death...?

Darling, destiny is racing through my body.

World in motion, finally

Could this be love?

Let me melt away in your embrace, my darling.

It’s just me, so don’t you be afraid.

Kiss me now!
