Catching Up With Depeche Mode

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When i want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things i detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when i'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....

All i want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smiled the way it was before

Well i'll try not to hold you
And i'll try not to kiss you
And i won't even touch you

All i want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true

I remember the days when we'd walk through the woods
And sit on a bench for a while
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each others eyes

You can keep me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance
But i swear i won't touch you

All i want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true

Well i know five years is a long time
And that times change (oh that times change)
But i think that you will find
People are basically the same (basically the same)

If the water's still flowing, we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do
And if i'm reluctant you can pull me in
And we can relive our youth

Oh but we'll stay friendly like sister and brother
Though i think i still love you
All i want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true?

All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts and the definite lasts
That lay in store for me

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now i find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself

Consequently, i've a tendency to be unhappy
You see the thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds get to me

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now i find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself

All of these absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts and the certainties
That lay in store for us

There was a time
When all on my mind was love (love love love)
Now i find that most of the time
Love's not enough in itself

Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight

Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And i can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight

Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now

Death is everywhere
The more i look
The more i see
The more i feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight

Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)

There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
There are flies on the windscreen

Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)
Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)

Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn't succeed, thank the lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, it's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But i think that god's got a sick sense of humor
And when i die i expect to find him laughing

Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in jesus christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine

Summer's day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her mother's eye

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But i think that god's got a sick sense of humor
And when i die i expect to find him laughing

There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is to tear it apart
If i lend it to you, would you keep it safe for me
I'll lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart

There's a sun shining in the sky
But that's not the reason why i'm feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified- it's my heart
From the moment i started
I tried to be good about it
Yes i've tried my best
And more or less, i spoke from my heart

There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned

There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is to tear it apart
If i lend it to you, would you keep it safe for me
I'll lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart

Hearts can never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If i want it back
I will take it back
I'll take my heart

But i will try my best
And more or less
I will speak from my heart
Yes, i will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart

There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned

There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is to tear it apart
If i lend it to you, would you keep it safe for me
I'll lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
