Afraid Lyrics

I dream of you nights
And daytime too
Like someone slipped me something
And that something's you
Almost walked into a wall
Imagining your embrace
Had to snap myself out of the
thought of your lips and their
heavenly taste

(Pre-)
And the sensation is real
The blood rushes into
Each place as if you were here
Elevating me to
Closed eyed elation
Heartbeat is racing
This evocation

()
Got me afraid of
The rapture stirring inside of me
Got me afraid of
What I'm gonna do if I get you to see
Got me afraid of you
You're so fi ne
Sometimes I forget to breathe
Got me afraid that
Wherever you are is wherever I have to be

Faces are fading
Replaced with yours
Bodies are changing
Into your beautiful form
Oh to feel your pulse
Beating inside mine
Want you to press against me
Like if you don't you'll die

(Pre-)
And the sensation is real
The blood rushes into
Each place as if you were here
Elevating me to
Closed eyed elation
Heartbeat is racing
This evocation

()
Got me afraid of
The rapture stirring inside of me
Got me afraid of
What I'm gonna do if I get you to see
Got me afraid of you
You're so fi ne
Sometimes I forget to breathe
Got me afraid that
Wherever you are is wherever I have to be

You must be kin to the moon
'Cause when you're up
And out and full
I could be anywhere
And feel the pull
Whispering to my ocean
Your glow is nectar flowing
Into my spine
And this is why I am...

()
Got me afraid of
The rapture stirring inside of me
Got me afraid of
What I'm gonna do if I get you to see
Got me afraid of you
You're so fi ne
Sometimes I forget to breathe
Got me afraid that
Wherever you are is wherever I have to be

Wherever you are is wherever I have to be Wherever Wherever Wherever Wherever Wherever Wherever
Wherever Wherever Wherever Wherever Wherever Wherever

Amel Larrieux (born March 8, 1973) is a U.S. singer-songwriter and keyboard player. She was formerly lead vocalist of the '90s R&B and soul group Groove Theory.

Larrieux was born and brought up in the neighborhood of Greenwich Village in New York City. Her mother was a dance critic and professor who encouraged Larrieux to grow up in a free-spirited, artistic environment. Many of her influences are drawn from R&B, soul, jazz, folk, hip-hop and gospel, with flashes of Middle Eastern, West African, and Indian ethnic styles. She lives in New York City with her husband and two daughters.

As a solo artist, her music is mostly categorized as fitting within the nu-soul genre, though she also dabbles in jazz, blues and gospel sounds. She sang lead vocals with Sade's band Sweetback while Sade was on hiatus. On her last album 'Lovely Standards' she gravitated away from nu-soul to produce a cover album made up of songs from the jazz and blues singers that inspired her. Larrieux is also influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder and Prince — as she has previously credited on her website. Read more on Last.fm.
