Making love to a picture frame
One more time tonight
You can tell by the lines in her smile
Something is not right
Where are you hiding (hiding)
She's on the outside
I'm on the inside crying (crying)
Just another crazy boy
Hungry for your
[Chorus]
Hot love
Wrap yourself around me like a
Warm glove
The emptiness leaves me and I'm
Filled up
Never need to
Go back to the way I was
The way I was
I tried and tried and tried and tried
But I have no concept of consequence
And I'm a master of self defense
Days get longer
Life gets shorter
She rips me like no other
So oh dripping from head to toe
Where are you hiding (hiding)
She's on the outside
I'm on the inside crying (crying)
[Chorus: x2]
I can't make the same mistake
If you lose my love
It was yours to take
Break down your door
Take a little more
When I need you around
And I'm so terrified of leaving
It's a new low
Try and pick me up again but
Let go see how far I get without you
Desperately need more of your
[Chorus: x2]
One more time tonight
You can tell by the lines in her smile
Something is not right
Where are you hiding (hiding)
She's on the outside
I'm on the inside crying (crying)
Just another crazy boy
Hungry for your
[Chorus]
Hot love
Wrap yourself around me like a
Warm glove
The emptiness leaves me and I'm
Filled up
Never need to
Go back to the way I was
The way I was
I tried and tried and tried and tried
But I have no concept of consequence
And I'm a master of self defense
Days get longer
Life gets shorter
She rips me like no other
So oh dripping from head to toe
Where are you hiding (hiding)
She's on the outside
I'm on the inside crying (crying)
[Chorus: x2]
I can't make the same mistake
If you lose my love
It was yours to take
Break down your door
Take a little more
When I need you around
And I'm so terrified of leaving
It's a new low
Try and pick me up again but
Let go see how far I get without you
Desperately need more of your
[Chorus: x2]

I can't make the same mistake
If you lose my love
It was yours to take
Break down your door
Take a little more
When I need you around
And I'm so terrified of leaving
It's a new low
Try and pick me up again but
Let go see how far i get without you
Desperately need more of your.
simply the best part to me
i loooooooooooooooooooooove it!
the first line...
"making love to a picture frame one more time tonight"
between the sound of adam's voice and the way it combines with the piano in these lyrics, these words really get to me every time. it's like....perfection.
anyways...the meaning?
he's found a girl unlike any other. forget his ex-lovers and the player he once was; now he's found what he truly wants.
this girl has an amazing power over his emotions
(ie: "And I'm so terrified of leaving
It's a new low
Try and pick me up again but
Let go see how far i get without you")
i don't think he HAS this girl COMPLETELY, but SHE has him. she's changed him.
