Aquiesce

I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive

I don't know how to wake the things that sleep inside

I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes



I hope that I can say the things I wish I'd said

To sing my soul to sleep and take me back to bed

You want to be alone when we could be alive instead



Because we need each other, we believe in one another

And I know we're going to uncover, what's sleepin' in our soul



Because we need each other, we believe in one another

I know we're going to uncover, what's sleepin' in our soul

What's sleepin' in our soul



There are many things that I would like to know

And there are many places that I wish to go

But everything's depending on the way the wind may blow



I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive

I don't know how to wake the things that sleep inside

I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes



Because we need each other, we believe in one another

And I know we're going to uncover, what's sleepin' in our soul



Because we need each other, we believe in one another

And I know we're going to uncover, what's sleepin' in our soul

What's sleepin' in our soul, what's sleepin' in our soul

What's sleepin' in our soul



'Cause we believe, 'cause we believe, yeah, we believe

'Cause we believe, 'cause we believe, 'cause we believe

Because we need, because we need
