Ascend

Nitzer Ebb

I first saw you

without love and then you knew

your fingers reached

I moved in the distance breached



tell me what I'm doing here

tell me what I'm doing here



to my surprise

I kissed you, you made me rise

now by my side

I've missed you and let it slide



tell me what I'm doing here

tell me what I'm doing here



if all I ever wanted wasn't good for you

if the thing that I said, they just weren't true

ascend, ascend my friend



I turned my head

and looked back, I had been led

when my heart jumped

we lost touch, our love had slumped



tell me what I'm doing here

tell me what I'm doing here



if all I ever wanted wasn't good for you

if the thing that I said, they just weren't true

ascend, ascend my friend



I can see you looking down to keep away from me

but I'm stuck with this lack of ability

I can't refrain

from coming here

it causes pain

you're so sincere

ascend, I must ascend



so now alone

I find out your heart is stone

a helping hand

there is none from where I stand

tell me what I'm doing here

tell me what I'm doing here



if all I ever wanted wasn't good for you

if the thing that I said, they just weren't true

then don't restrain from telling me

that all this pain is good for me

I can see you looking down to keep away from me

but I'm stuck with this lack of ability

I can't restrain from coming here

it causes pain you're so sincere

ascend

ascend, I must ascend
