|
You were young, you had time on your hands |
|
And I, was a roller-coaster of the kind |
|
that needs to ride so high |
|
To dive so low |
|
All the time I had to keep you close |
|
Now I finally know how it must of hurt |
|
To see all of the love and care only work |
|
A little while and then I'd go |
|
All the time I had to keep you close |
|
What you feel is what you get |
|
You know there is no answer fit |
|
We broke the code so long ago |
|
I'm going to keep you ever close |
|
Just like on the day we met |
|
You pulling on me like a cigarette |
|
So like the sea holds to the shore |
|
I'm going to keep you ever close |
|
Now the years have a way to make you forget |
|
That we're still in the same place |
|
No hurry yet |
|
The path we're on is the path we chose |
|
I'll still remember how to keep you close |
|
Linger on, linger on in the scheme of things |
|
We are only inhabiting our own dreams |
|
They don't come true, it's the way it goes |
|
And in the meantime I will hold you close |
|
In my heart and in my head, |
|
You are the only dream I dread |
|
The fear will keep on my toes |
|
I'm going to keep you ever close |
|
Just like on the day we met |
|
You pulling on me like a cigarette |
|
So like the sea holds to the shore |
|
I'm going to keep you ever close |
|
So is this what they mean about moving on |
|
Is this really the end you won't stick around |
|
The one that stays, you're the one that throws |
|
Out the one that has kept you close |
|
And is this definition of constant change |
|
A transformation of what we hope stays the same |
|
Cold's the breeze that forever blows |
|
Warm are the hands that have kept you close |
|
Coldness is what lays ahead |
|
So when I see you should I just pretend |
|
The flower's cut but it still grows |
|
I'm going to keep you ever close |
|
Just like on the day we met |
|
I'm pulling on you like a cigarette |
|
So like the sea holds to the shore |
|
I'm going to keep you ever close |
|
I'm going to keep you ever close |
