Ever found a day, where nothing matters?
Never ending stairs, head and heart in tatters,
I wish I’d stayed, I do.
This water works, but lonely hearts run (cold),
Make amends? Or cheat and pretend?
I wish I’d stayed, I do.
Young lover, like we had a clue,
Young lover, if only we knew.
Oooh oooh, oooh,
You’re not damned if you do what you like,
So meet me in the light.
Shadows at night, tears in a downpour,
Comparable,
To the hope of an encore.
I wish I’d stayed, with you.
Bound by hearts and weights,
Choices made by fear and hate,
But love’s not ours to waste,
Happy in a lonely place.
Flowers painted grey,
Heartache sides with those who walk away,
Second chances save,
Lives abound with better days.
Young lover, like we could have known
Young lover, let’s never grow old
Young lover, just wait
Young lover, OK...
