I want more than me and you
The more I want the more it scares me
I will put my faith in you
Won't you be my missionary?
I can't, can't get back to the baseline

Had too much of waiting up
Had too much of things I tell you
It's the only way and it's love
Fill my cup oh I've said too much
Oh I can't, I can't get back to the baseline
Oh I can't, I can't get back to the baseline

I've been on freight train buzz
So I'm trying to tell you
The only thing I need's your love
But I can't, Oh I can't, Oh I can't, I can't
I can't get back to the baseline

It's the way of feeling good
It is all that's necessary
I guess that it's from above
I'm no fool but I guess too much
And I can't, I can't get back to the baseline
Oh I can't, I can't get back to the baseline
