[Verse 1]
I was a stranger to myself
A  flicker, a memory
I  was a fragment, an empty shell
'Til you got a hold of me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Stretch it over me
The  sky of your affection
It's  the wild I need tonight

[Chorus]
Love me like you mean it
Hold  me like the moon holds onto the tide
Love me like you mean it
Keep me 'cause your fire keeps me alive
Love me like you mean it

[Verse 2]
On  a train somewhere in Italy
Your fingers laced with mine
I see the world racing next to me
But we're frozen, lost in time

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Stretch it over me
The miles of your affection
It's the wild I need tonight
[Chorus]
Love me like you mean it
Hold me like the moon holds onto the tide
Love me like you mean it
Keep me 'cause your fire keeps me alive

[Post-Chorus]
I'll say it once
I'll say it twice
You are the halo that covers the night
Love me like you mean it

[Bridge]
Stretch it over me
The sky of your affection
It's the wild I need tonight, tonight

[Breakdown]
Love me like you mean it
Hold me like the moon holds onto the tide
Love me like you mean it
Keep me 'cause your fire keeps me alive

[Chorus]
Love me like you mean it
Hold me like the moon holds onto the tide
Love me like you mean it
Keep me 'cause your fire keeps me alive
[Post-Chorus]
I'll say it once
I'll say it twice
You are the halo that covers the night
Love me like you mean it
