Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Oh, when I'm around you
And our souls begin to speak
Do we pretend it's not there?
It's funny how I found you
When a life was so complete
But we still bend the air
[Bridge]
It might not even be it's true
It might not even be it's you
It just not might, but such is life
When you're down, you've got to fight
[Verse 2]
It's only when I wake up
Oh, and it's only when I dream
That I just stare in bed
Is this a thing they speak of
Oh, and oh, is this the way it feels
But we just bend the air
[Chorus]
I know, you know
We go wherever it is, we wanna go
Can you hear me calling on your radio?
Can you hear me calling on your stereo?
I know, you know
We go wherever it is, we wanna go
Dani, did you call me on the radio?
Dani, did you call me on this, ready to go?
[Verse 3]
Oh, when I'm around you
And our souls begin to speak
Do we pretend it's not there?
Is this a thing they speak of
Oh, and oh, is this the way it feels
Still we just bend the air
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I know, you know
We go wherever it is we wanna go
Can you hear me calling on your radio?
Can you hear me calling on the stereo?
I know, you know
We go wherever it is we wanna go
Dani, did you call me on the radio?
Dani, did you call me on this, ready to go?
I know, you know
We go wherever it is we wanna go
Can you hear me calling on your radio?
Dani, did you call me on the telephone?
I know, you know
We go wherever it is we wanted to go
[Outro]
I know, you know
We go wherever it is we wanted to go
Wanted to go
Wanted to go
Wanted to go
Yeah
