there's nothing around here to me that's sacred
'cept you, yeah you
there's nothing 'round here to me that matters
'cept you, yeah you
you're the one i'm reaching for
you're the one that i admire
every time we meet together I feel like I'm on fire
there's nothing that matters to me
and there's nothing i desire
'cept you, yeah you
there's nothing around here i want to try for
'cept you, yeah you
there's nothing at the hideout to live or die for
In churches all the time
make me feel so good inside
so peaceful, so sublime
and there's nothing that reminds me of that old familiar chime
'cept you, yeah you
used to run in the cemetery
dance and run and sing when i was a child
an' it never seemed strange
but now i just pass mournfully by
that place where the bones of life are piled
i know something has changed
i'm a stranger here and no one sees me
'cept you, yeah you
there's no one here that wants to see me
'cept you, yeah you
nothing hypnotizes me
or holds me in its spell
everything runs by me
just like water from a well
they all want my attention
they all got something to sell
'cept you, yeah you
i'm in love with you
'cept you, yeah you
there's nothing 'round here to me that matters
'cept you, yeah you
you're the one i'm reaching for
you're the one that i admire
every time we meet together I feel like I'm on fire
there's nothing that matters to me
and there's nothing i desire
'cept you, yeah you
there's nothing around here i want to try for
'cept you, yeah you
there's nothing at the hideout to live or die for
In churches all the time
make me feel so good inside
so peaceful, so sublime
and there's nothing that reminds me of that old familiar chime
'cept you, yeah you
