Lyrics
Knowing there's truth, that's why I sing about
Sleeping with you,
I just want to make as much out of youth,
Cause time will slip away.
A crash of a wave, on the sandy shore
After it rains, the silence from a storm
Warm summer days, when I can be alone with you.
I love my time alone, that's why I sing about
Cause that's why I sing about
Cause that's why I sing about
Cause that's why I sing about Love.
The power of youth, is so high you know it soars
High above dispute of any kind of war
I can substitute love for a kind reward
Cause love's a kind reward
Cause that's why I sing about
Cause that's why I sing about
Cause that's why I sing about Love.
A passionate game, the kind we've played before
Screaming my name, you're crying out for more
I dig the pain, we like it on the floor, I like it on the floor
Cause that's why I sing about
Cause that's why I sing about
Cause that's why I sing about Love.
Cause that's why I sing about
Cause that's why I sing about
Cause that's why I sing about Love.
