    Lyrics
    I remember us alone
    Waiting for the light to go
    Don't you feel that hunger?
    I've got so many secrets to show
    When I saw you on that stage
    I shivered with the look you gave
    Don't you hear that rhythm?
    Can you show me how we can escape?
    I was biting my tongue
    I was trying to hide
    I'll forget what I've done
    I will be redefined
    It's shaking the sky, and I'm following lightning
    And I'll recover if you keep me alight
    Don't leave me behind
    Can you see me? I'm shining
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    Unfolding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    Unfolding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    Now that we can hear that sound
    Now that you can hold me down
    You can pull me under
    You can raise everything to the ground
    Everything I can arrange
    Every part of me you change
    Just hold me together
    Tell me you'll always want me to stay
    I was biting my tongue
    I was trying to hide
    I'll forget what I've done
    I will be redefined
    It's shaking the sky, and I'm following lightning
    And I'll recover if you keep me alight
    Don't leave me behind
    Can you see me? I'm shining
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    I wanna be the one you steal
    I wanna be the one you shield
    I wanna be the one that your love
    That your love can heal
    I wanna be the one you steal
    I wanna be the one you shield
    I wanna be the one that your love, that your love
    It's shaking the sky, and I'm following lightning
    And I'll recover if you keep me alight
    Don't leave me behind
    Can you see me? I'm shining
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    Unfolding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    Unfolding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    It's you that I've been waiting to find

      He said in an interview that he's always been singing about his boy friends in his songs. Also if you look at the lyrics to songs like 'Real' the lyric "You do it boy" and Memo the lyric "when he looks like that" it's obvious what his sexual preference is.

    I remember us alone
    Waiting for the light to go
    Don't you feel that hunger
    I've got, so many secrets to show
    When I saw you on that stage
    I shiver with the look you gave
    Don't you hear that rhythm, can you
    Show me how we can escape
    (Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh)
    I was biting my tongue
    I was trying to hide
    (Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh)
    I'll forget what I've done
    I'll be redefined
    It's shaking the sky
    And I'm following lightning
    I'll recover if you keep me alive
    Don't leave me behind
    Can you see me I'm shining
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    I'm folding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    I'm folding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    Now that we can hear that sound
    Now that you can hold me down
    You can pull me under
    You can raise everything to the ground
    Everything I can arrange,
    Every part of me you change
    Just hold me together, tell me
    You'll always want me to stay
    (Ooh oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh)
    I was biting my tongue
    I was trying to hide
    (Ooh oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh)
    I'll forget what I've done
    I'll be redefined
    It's shaking the sky
    And I'm following lightning
    I'll recover if you keep me alive
    Don't leave me behind
    Can you see me I'm shining
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    I wanna be the one you steal
    I wanna be the one you shield
    I wanna be the one
    That your love, that your love
    Can heal
    I wanna be the one you steal
    I wanna be the one you shield
    I wanna be the one
    That you'll love, that you'll love
    It's shaking the sky
    And I'm following lightning
    I'll recover if you keep me alive
    Don't leave me behind
    Can you see me I'm shining
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    I'm folding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've be waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    I'm folding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've be waiting to find
    It's you that I've be waiting to find
    It's you that I've been waiting to find

    I know this is a really late post but when I first heard this song I had it on repeat and I absolutely loved it . Then a day later, my cousin who was 2 years longer than me died of a overdose. Since then and probably forever this song will always remind of him. The sadness of him passing and how much I miss him. Sad connection for such a good song.

    _LYRICS_
    [Verse 1]
    I remember us alone
    Waiting for the light to go
    Don't you feel that hunger?
    I've got so many secrets to show
    When I saw you on that stage
    I shivered with the look you gave
    Don't you hear that rhythm?
    Can you show me how we can escape?
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I was biting my tongue
    I was trying to hide
    I'll forget what I've done
    I will be redefined
    [Chorus]
    It's shaking the sky, and I'm following lightning
    And I'll recover if you keep me alight
    Don't leave me behind
    Can you see me? I'm shining
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    [Post-Chorus]
    I'm holding it all tonight
    Unfolding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    Unfolding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    [Verse 2]
    Now that we can hear that sound
    Now that you can hold me down
    You can pull me under
    You can raise everything to the ground
    Everything I can arrange
    Every part of me you change
    Just hold me together
    Tell me you'll always want me to stay
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I was biting my tongue
    I was trying to hide
    I'll forget what I've done
    I will be redefined
    [Chorus]
    It's shaking the sky, and I'm following lightning
    And I'll recover if you keep me alight
    Don't leave me behind
    Can you see me? I'm shining
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    [Bridge]
    I wanna be the one you steal
    I wanna be the one you shield
    I wanna be the one that your love
    That your love can heal
    I wanna be the one you steal
    I wanna be the one you shield
    I wanna be the one that your love, your love
    [Chorus]
    It's shaking the sky, and I'm following lightning
    And I'll recover if you keep me alight
    Don't leave me behind
    Can you see me? I'm shining
    And it's you that I've been waiting to find
    [Post-Chorus]
    I'm holding it all tonight
    Unfolding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    I'm holding it all tonight
    Unfolding it all tonight
    You know that you make it shine
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    [Outro]
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
    It's you that I've been waiting to find
