Lyrics
Can we kiss
With poison on our lips Well I'm not scared
Can we touch and taste forbidden bliss They can't stop us now, I won't let you be alone I am coming for you Keep us apart, it's too much to ask
We're running away Take off your clothes and take off your mask It's not over now, I won't leave you in the dark Because I need you so
Can we kiss, contagion on our lips Well I don't care We can touch and feel forbidden bliss They can't stop us now, I won't let you feel alone Because I need you so
You and me Throw caution to the wind And I will risk everything just to feel the warmth and voltage from your skin If this is my last day on earth, I just want to be with you You are all that's true
We will kiss, with poison on our lips Well I'm not scared We will touch and reach forbidden bliss They can't stop us now, I won't let you die alone
Because I love you so
