[00:12.61]You ask me if I love you
[00:16.35]And I choke on my reply
[00:20.54]I'd rather hurt you honestly
[00:24.27]Than mislead you with a lie
[00:28.34]For who am I to judge you
[00:31.20]
[00:32.20]In what you say or do
[00:35.13]
[00:36.14]I'm only just beginning
[00:40.13]To see the real you
[00:43.69]
[00:46.31]And sometimes when we touch
[00:49.73]
[00:50.30]The honesty's too much
[00:53.30]
[00:54.29]And I have to close my eyes
[00:57.16]And hide
[01:00.53]
[01:01.84]I wanna hold you till I die
[01:06.09]Till we both break down and cry
[01:09.70]I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[01:17.01]
[01:22.75]Romance's an honest strategy
[01:26.18]Leaves me grappling with my pride
[01:30.04]
[01:30.61]But through the years of maturity
[01:34.35]Some tenderness survives
[01:38.35]I'm just another writer
[01:42.41]Still trapped within my truth
[01:46.40]A hesitant prize-fighter
[01:50.21]Still trapped within my youth
[01:54.32]
[01:56.38]And sometimes when we touch
[02:00.38]The honesty's too much
[02:03.93]And I have to close my eyes
[02:07.49]And hide
[02:10.73]
[02:11.79]I wanna hold you till I die
[02:16.10]Till we both break down and cry
[02:19.91]I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[02:26.89]
[02:28.33]At times I'd like to break you
[02:32.20]And drive you to your knees
[02:36.50]At times I'd like to break through
[02:40.31]And hold you endlessly
[02:44.36]
[02:46.56]At times I understand you
[02:50.61]And I know how hard you try
[02:53.67]
[02:54.41]I've watched whil love commands you
[02:57.78]
[02:58.40]And I've watched love pass you by
[03:01.59]
[03:02.47]At times I think we're drifters
[03:05.33]
[03:06.40]Still searching for a friend
[03:09.39]
[03:10.51]A brother or a sister
[03:13.13]
[03:13.89]But then the passion flares again....
[03:16.88]
[03:20.24]And sometimes when we touch
[03:23.00]
[03:24.25]The honesty's too much
[03:27.49]
[03:28.24]And I have to close my eyes
[03:31.61]And hide
[03:34.85]
[03:35.73]I wanna hold you till I die
[03:39.96]Till we both break down and cry
[03:43.83]I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
