Well, I could pretend to engage
But I’m in chains
Is it time to let go?
So feeble a smile
Is it time to let go?
Silhouette on the wall
Give yourself up
I know it’s you
I know you’re there
Once again
Well, I can try
To do impressions of myself
From before it went wrong
I can try and I’ll try and
I’ll try and I’ll try and I’ll try
Wait, don’t desert us
Wait, don’t desert us all
Can’t look to myself anymore
(I can feel you)
Wait, don’t desert us
Wait, don’t desert us all
Silhouette on the wall
Give yourself up
I know it’s you
I know you’re there
Silhouette on the wall
Give yourself up
I know it’s you
I can feel you there
I can feel you there
Silhouette on the wall
Give yourself up
I know it’s you
I know you’re there
Silhouette on the wall
Give yourself up
I know it’s you
And if I can’t stand one more night
I’ll remember the deal
I feel you walking with me
(Silhouette on the wall)
I feel you walking with me
(Silhouette on the wall)
Give yourself up
I know it’s you

Love, love What a waste of time Oversold But you know It gets real low, gets real low When you go It gets real low, gets real low Ah, You know me better Think I’d better …
In Your Head
Rain coming on And I’m hanging on the line Where we talked, oh (Say) say (say) what you want But I’m dying on the vine Certifiable Everything else I know (oh) Everything …
