Lyrics

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

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
