Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes, make a wish, this could last forever
If only you could stay with me now
So tell me what it is that keeps us from each other now
Yeah, it's coming to get me
You're under my skin
[Chorus]
No I can't let you go
You're apart of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know the reason
Why I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls cuz I miss you
[Verse 2]
Take my hand, take my life
Just don't take forever
And let me feel your pain kept inside
There's gotta be a way that you and I together now
Yeah-yeah, it's coming to get me
You're under my skin
[Chorus]
No I can't let you go
You're apart of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
And I don't wanna know the reason
Why I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls cuz I miss you
[Bridge]
It's an illusion
How can I feel this way
If I can't have you?
It's an illusion
Nothing is real this way
If I can't have you
[Chorus]
No I can't let you go
You're apart of me now
Caught by the taste of your kiss
(I don't wanna know)
And I don't wanna know the reason
Why I can't stay forever like this
Now I'm climbing the walls cuz I miss you (ooh-ooh)
I can't let you go now
And I don't wanna know the reason
Why I can't stay forever like this (no)
Now I'm climbing the walls
Cuz I miss you (I miss you)
