"you know the pills don't make the man"
said my heart to my head
as my body hit the bed thinking i ruined something grand
then my head to my heart, "just back off, because this is hard"
then they fought on to the next round, i found myself screaming out
please don't let me go
i thought that you should know
i wanna hold you close
for as long as you like
i don't wanna let you down.
when my feet feel solid ground
everything seems just to give way
i'm sorry for the things i say
i know that you don't like to sing
but in your silence you still bring
the clearest crystals filled with hope
just speak up and let me know
i don't wanna let you down.
who knew that perfect love could drown?
the toughest leaks spring from the strongest life rafts
that's what i have found
and as i'm reaching for the dock
thinking i had it all on lock
the clouds part and out comes the sun
and i know we've just begun
one day when we are old and grey
watching the sunset on the bay
we'll laugh about that night before
i'll hold you close till way past four
then when you look into my eyes
you'll feel familiar love will rise
our faces sporting all-out grins
we'll look right up and sing it
