What is it about me?


"You moved like honey... in my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires were burning...
You came near to me... and you endeared to me,
But you couldn't quite discern me?

Does that scare you ? I'll let you run away...
But your heart... will not oblige you!
You'll remember me... like a melody...
Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you...

And my big secret... is gonna win you over!
Slow like honey... and heavy with mood...

I'll let you see me... while covet your regard...
I'll invade your demeanor!
And you'll yield to me... like a scent in the breeze...
And you'll wonder... what it is about me?

It's my big secret! ... keeping you coming...
Slow like honey... heavy with mood...

Though dreams can be deceiving,
Like faces are to hearts... they serve for sweet relieving,
When fantasy and reality... lie too far apart...

So... I'll stretch myself across... like a bridge... And I'll pull you... into the edge!

And stand there waiting... trying to attain the end... to satisfy the story!
Shall I release you? Must I release you? As I rise... to meet my glory?

But my big secret's... gonna hover over your life!
Gonna keep you reaching! When I'm gone... like yesterday!
When I'm high... like heaven...
When I'm strong! ... like music... 'cause...
I'm slow like honey... and heavy with mood!"
