Will expand on it later, but briefly - there are 1.5 Billion of them, globally speaking. There are 800 millions of yous, not all of them all that committed at this point.

Hush, hush

I thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

Hush, hush

Thought I heard her calling my name now

Hush, hush

I need her loving and I'm not to blame now
