Shiver

Natalie Imbruglia · Glorious - The Singles 97-07 [2007]

I walk a mile with a smile

I don't know

I don't care where I am but I know it's alright



Jump the tracks

Can't get back

I don't know anyone around here but I'm safe this time



'Cause when you tell me

Tell me

Tell me stupid things like you do

Yes

I have to

Have to

Have to change the rules

I can't lose



'Cause I shiver

I just break up

When I'm near you it all gets out of hand

Yes

I shiver

I get bent up

There's no way that I know you'll understand



We talk and talk 'round it all

Who'd have thought we'd end up here but I'm feeling fine



In a rush

Never trust you'll be there if I'd only stop and take my time



'Cause with you I'm running

Running

Running somewhere I can't get to

Yes

I have to

Have to

Have to change the rules

I'm with you



'Cause I shiver

I just break up

When I'm near you it all gets out of hand

Yes

I shiver

I get bent up

There's no way that I know you'll understand



What if you get off at the next stop

Would you just wave as I'm drifting off

If I never saw you again could I

(Could I)

Keep hold

(Keep hold of this)

Of this

(Of this)

Inside



'Cause I shiver

I just break up

When I'm near you it all gets out of hand

Yes

I shiver

(I'm running but my heart won't keep up)

I get bent up

(This feeling that I'm feeling is too much)

There's no way that I know you'll understand

(There's nothing that can slow me down now)

(I'm running but I'll catch you somehow)



I shiver

(I'm running but my heart won't keep up)

(This feeling that I'm feeling is too much)

I shiver

(There's nothing that can slow me down now)

(I'm running but I'll catch you somehow)



Yes

I shiver

(I'm running but my heart won't keep up)

I just break up

(This feeling that I'm feeling is too much)

When I'm near you it all gets out of hand

(There's nothing that can slow me down now)

(I'm running but I'll catch you somehow)



Yes

I shiver

(I'm running but my heart won't keep up)

I get bent up

(This feeling that I'm feeling is too much)

There's no way that I know you'll understand

(There's nothing that can slow me down now)

(I'm running but I'll catch you somehow)
