Believe

LyricsInformation
close your eyes
until the sunlight dies
in your head a thousand stars
through the darkness you can see a light
and if they steal your life
your heart is still mine
I want to believe in you and I heard you
your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear
on Sunday
there's a life I hide
well I tried to disguise
and I can take you a million miles away
I want to believe in you and I heard you
your song, you sing, a truth is no other
I want to believe in you, dear

on Sunday I made amends
of all my mistakes
may God speed be with you

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
and I
I want to believe in you and I heard you
your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you and I heard you
your song, you sing, a truth, a lover
I want to believe in you and I heard you
your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other
I want to believe in you, dear
on Sunday
on Sunday I made amends
for all my mistakes
may God speed be with you

James Iha: (from Guitar World)

    "This was another song recorded the day after the music for the album was done. It's supposed to be an uplifting song, but it has this undercurrent of longing, depression and sadness. The opening guitar was played on a Gibson J-100XTRA, which has got this great, wide-open sound, and there's a clean electric guitar doubling it but mixed way back to give a chorusing "sparkle." There are also two bass guitar tracks on most of the song, played on a weird Epiphone bass that I bought for a hundred dollars at a pawn shop, and which also got used a lot on Siamese Dream. On the track, one plays chords high up and the other just plays the root notes to give it some weight."
