| I would open up the book, | |
| but i don’t know where to start to look, | |
| your so tall and your so strong, | |
| stand by me cause this wont take too long, | |
| do you remember i called for you but you were gone. | |
| I thought we were safe but i was wrong, | |
| i’m just left here standing looking on. | |
| You ask me which way i’ll go, | |
| whichever way the wind blows, i don’t know | |
| And there is no eternity at any price, | |
| beggers and choosers dont get to live in paradise, | |
| people die for just one kiss, | |
| and its plain to me, | |
| we are not being everything that we could be, | |
| noone wants to run the risk, | |
| sometimes i wish i was blind, | |
| i thought i saw a whole lot more than this |
