Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
You've asked me to let life go
And fly with you tomorrow
Enter "Equatoria"
Your country wants to borrow
Gold and diamonds wait for you
If you have information
But tempting you will run them dry
It's your occupation
[Pre-Chorus]
To run, to hide
To borrow, steal or buy
A game, a lie
But you don’t know why
[Chorus]
Slow
Stop me from falling in love with you
Slow
Stop me from falling, I don't know you
[Verse 2]
Jigsaw clues are all you have
To formulate your game
Watercolor images
Wash off with the rain
Maps drawn with ancient hands
Never seem to change
Though the land you trod upon
Has a modern name
[Pre-Chorus]
We run, we hide
To borrow, steal or buy
A clue, we try
But you don’t know why
[Chorus]
Slow
Stop me from falling in love with you
Slow
Stop me from falling, I don't know you
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Now, your vision's very clear
Touch it with your hand
Watch the bloodlines disappear
As you take the land
Politics and terrorists
Mix like gas and fire
You're a pawn in this king's chess
Glory's your desire
[Pre-Chorus]
You run, you hide
To follow this man's lie
A game, not mine
But now I know why
[Chorus]
Slow
Stop me from falling in love with you
Slow
Stop me from falling, I don't know you
Slow
Stop me from falling in love with you
Slow
Stop me from falling, I don't know you
Slow
Stop
