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