Something's gotten hold of my heart
Tearing my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life, cutting
its way through my dreams like a knife

Turning me up and turning me down
Making me laugh and making me frown
In a world that was war (strong)
I once lived in a time
That was peace with no trouble at all

But then you came my way
And a feeling I know, shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days

Something's gotten hold of my heart
Tearing my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life, cutting
its way through my dreams like a knife

Changing the grey to a depression blue
Scarlet for me, it's scarlet for you
I've got to know if this is the real thing
I've got to know what's making
my heart sing, oh yeah

Turn around and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the lifetime
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray

Gotta tell you
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Tearing my soul
and my senses wide apart

Something's gotten into my life, cutting
its way through my dreams like a knife
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, it's scarlet for you
