European

There's a light in your attic, I can see it
And it flashes for a dirty voyeur like me
There's a heartbeat on the air tonight, I hear it
Whispering, "beat, beat, beat, beat, beat"

What's it gonna take for you to let me inside?
Man, I'm standing on your lawn and the grass is on fire

When I kissed you on the lips, I was being European
Honey, come on
I just want to right what's been feeling so wrong
Well, if you don't love me, I can hide my feelings
But I just want to get what I haven't had in so long

Tell secrets in an alley in New Orleans
To read my palm right through your jeans
Watch your lips move 'til I don't know what the words mean
Ain't the song things you feel like you could only say to me?

What's it gonna take for you to let me in bed?
Can you look me in the eye and tell me that you're still upset?

Well, when I kissed you on the lips, I was being European
Honey, come on
I want to grab before the moment's gone
Well, you can't kick me out while I'm still reeling
I just want to get what I haven't had in so long
So long

I take you places where they kiss just to say "hi" to you
And break your heart open just like a shell
Because right now I'm so afraid of tomorrow
And some things I don't wanna do with anyone else
