You alone are what my soul needs,
You know the thirst is taking over.
Hardly breathe, I'm in urgent need.
You know the thirst is taking over.

The thirst is taking over...

Hold me down, hold me down.
Drip it on my tongue, and my convulsions stop.
Thirst for love, thirst for your love.
I could swallow your beauty whole.

Running out, time's running out.
Searching for the one who can conquer me.
I'm gonna scream aloud, throw it down,
Crash in my sweet obsession of you.
I'm gonna swim and drown in the wake of you.

I want to taste it, I need to taste it
Deep in the savior's arms.

I want to drink you in, I am drinking in.
I want to drink you in till I die, the day I die, the day.
