I see like I read   And I say like I write   And if I could touch the smile within her   I'd forget to be polite      And I'm marching in directions   In which she doesn't care to go   I don't deviate where we intersect   But to linger I walk slow      Am I coming to a stand still   Am I about to lose my mind   All I know for sure when she's around   Is I forget to watch the time      I know we head down different streets   But I don't want to walk away   So burns a lamp on amber   So I stutter and I stay      She gives me everything   She believes   She'll do anything   But she won't follow me   Something in her warms me   And I've been so very cold   Something in a memory   About a promise that I hold      Resigned to fates and destinies   Was the way I've always been   But the only one that interests me   Is the one that won't begin      But before we both can turn away   We look for one more glance   And find some brand new way to stall   So close to doing the dance   She gives me everything   She believes   She'll do anything   But she won't follow me      Is it happening to you   It must be   Cause I can feel it too   Our destiny   Take my hand and hold it tight   Hold on to my heart   Till the changing of the light   Tears us apart      So delicious the dilemma   So delinquent the denial   Try to stick together   For at least another mile      And I see no solution   Is the direction on her face   It's where I've always tended towards   It's always been the place      She has her own directions too   And she might fly off free   I wonder how to follow though   When I don't know how to see      She gives me everything   She believes   She'll do anything   But she won't follow me      She gives me everything   She believes   She'll do anything   But she won't follow me      But before we get too carried away   We both are here right now   When I hold on, I hold on forever   Even if I can't see how
