E
Pledge your faith, my heart, it breaks
Struggle to renew
Blurry mind, so hypnotized
Fast enough, who?

Chorus:
E
Wonder
Where you are
Tristessa

Soul takes soul as eye take eye
I will wait for you
What you believe, you’ll wish to receive
Won’t believe you
You-hoo

Chorus:
Hang on
To your life
Tristessa

I love you true
Surely, I do
I love you true
Surely, I do
Surely, I do
Surely, I do (No)

Do you ever wake up and find yourself alone?
Do you ever wake up far from home?
What you believe, you’ll wish to receive
I won’t believe you
Tristessa
