Helpless
©2009 Lisa Horan and Stephen Joseph

You just seem to have a gift
For being at the right place at the right time
Feel like I'm stepping off of a cliff
And I'm falling, plunging straight down into your eyes

Pre-Chorus
I wasn't looking for someone
But this feeling is something I can’t outrun

Chorus
You overwhelm me
Like a rush that takes my breath away
You hypnotize me
Like a trance that I can't escape
I'm helpless, helpless

So I try to play it strong
And make a promise that you won't get to me next time
Somehow my plans turn out all wrong
And I can't help, can't keep myself from falling out of line

Pre-chorus
I wasn’t looking for someone
But this feeling is something I can’t outrun

Chorus
You overwhelm me
Like a rush that takes my breath away
You hypnotize me
Like a trance that I can't escape
I'm helpless, helpless

Bridge
You’ve got a way about you
You've got a way
And I just can’t see anything but you
All I can say

Chorus
You overwhelm me
Like a rush that takes my breath away
You hypnotize me
Like a trance that I can't tame
I'm helpless

You overtake
Like an addiction that I can't break
You devastate me
Like a frenzy that I can't tame
I'm helpless, I'm helpless
