Almost too late
This chance I must take
Might make or break
But i'm trusting my fate
For much too long have I
Watched the years go by

Now i can't wait
I'm caught in the race
I find myself leaving no time to waste
Try keep my pace but
Time is running late

(then you say to me)
Is this the way it's gonna be?
(just what i need!)
Have you forgotten a thing called "we"?
I feel the shame tumbling down on me
When you plead

Cover me
I need love can't you see?
Come on and rescue me
Cover me
I'm in need don't you see?

I cannot feel
I can't even breathe
Way too much heat while the pressure's on me
No relief
But it's the way it's gonna be

(how can it be?)
That it's so hard for you to see
(what about me?)
Just to be touched is all i need
I feel the guilt rushing over me
As you plead

Cover me
I need love can't you see?
Come on and rescue me
Cover me
I'm in need don't you see?
Cover me
I need love desperately
Come on and set me free
Cover me
Is that so hard to see?

So baby stop pretend
'cause we're heading for the end
And you're hurting me again
