Darkside NYC - It's Given Me a Lot to Live For Lyrics

Once I was an empty soul; my blood pumped cold
Until I met the girl that filled the mold of dreams untold
Things were developing-a budding romance in the making
But I loved her far too hard and fast; I could feel my heart breaking

I tried to focus on the bliss, but like a curse, my bubble would burst
What kind of scenarios? The worst-rushing on in to disperse
I opened up to her in every imaginable way
But time wore on, and the novelty wore off; needless to say, we called it a day

I've had a manic attraction for ya since I first laid eyes on ya
We were both zooted after Slayer, but I gravitated toward ya
I just couldn't ignore ya
Still recall the first kiss: the platform, 125th
The summer of '95-that day I felt so alive

When I'm crawling through a mental avalanche; pitch-black night
Need you to hug me and console me, assure me it'll be alright

Stroke of midnight, I was feeling down
Wish I was with my baby, but she's nowhere to be found
And once the tears they flowed, it felt too good to stop
It had been years-I had some serious catching up to do

As fate smiled on, we had the chance to reconnect
Of course I went full steam ahead and played the whole deck-in full effect
I took the risk and got my inner feelings off my chest
Simple enough to ascertain
Soon I was on a cloud; lo and behold-she felt the same
