Come in close to me and bring me joy
Lift me higher, much higher and higher than light allows
I wanted to be everything, everything for you
I wanted you, I needed you, I thought that you did too
You built me beauty and took it all away
And I can’t face another day…
I’ll die for you today…
Tempt me, sweet tempest – and shower me with stars
I want to be as beautiful as you
Take me to the summit and show me
Show me all that I could ever have
You brought me everything, I ever thought I wanted
And now you take it all away
You gave me love and then you killed me blindly
I think I’ll die for you today, I can’t persue another way…
I’ll die for you today…
Like a garden growin’ in flames
A forest filled with fear of the wind
Like the moon so beautiful from afar
But shattered on the surface, full of scars
A sea with no more fish, planets without air
Whales with no more song
I know I’m gonna die with them today…
I’ll die for you today…
Alphaville – I'll Die For You Today Lyrics
