Virtue Lyrics by YATES

Mercury - EP

2015

[Verse 1]
I came so close to the edge of the water
As I felt the sun slip beneath my feet
Follow me before I drift off
Or otherwise I'll slip away
I came so close to the edge of euphoria
As I felt the scent of you surround me

[Chorus]
And I'm gon' swim the whole night
The whole night
And I'll give you my virtue
Just give me time
And I'm gon' swim the whole night
The whole night
And I'll give you my virtue
Just give me time

[Verse 2]
I came so close to the edge of inferno
As I felt the nothingness devour me
Hold me
Oh be my boat
For I will be your anchorage

[Chorus]
And I'm gon' swim the whole night
The whole night
And I'll give you my virtue
Just give me time
And I'm gon' swim the whole night
The whole night
And I'll give you my virtue
Just give me time

[Bridge]
Just give me time
Just give me time

[Chorus]
And I'm gon' swim the whole night
The whole night
And I'll give you my virtue
Just give me time
And I'm gon' swim the whole night
The whole night
And I'll give you my virtue
Just give me time
And I'm gon' swim the whole night
The whole night
And I'll give you my virtue
Just give me time
And I'm gon' swim the whole night
The whole night
And I'll give you my virtue
Just give me time
And I'm gon' swim the whole night
The whole night
And I'll give you my virtue
Just give me time
