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
