| Nights I lie awake,
|
| Your voice inside me.
|
| Strange how much it aches.
|
| Strange how long it takes.
|
| We played a different game.
|
| We were younger.
|
| And something we could feel
|
| Was something that was real.
|
| Too far too fast,
|
| And too good to last.
|
| Too good to last for long… for long.
|
| So take a day off
|
| From your life
|
| And spend it here with me.
|
| Drop your guard
|
| Just one more time,
|
| And then I’ll set you free.
|
| Take a look inside yourself
|
| And tell me what you see;
|
| By now I thought you’d realized
|
| I’m perfect company.
|
| Too far too fast
|
| And too good to last,
|
| Too good to last for long… for long.
|
| Like the days rush to greet you.
|
| Like the stars fall to meet you.
|
| Like the sunshine that heats you.
|
| Like the rain when it beats you
|
| And cheats you,
|
| Again and again.
|
| Too far too fast,
|
| And too good to last.
|
| Too good to last… too good to last for long.
|
| Too high too soon
|
| And too much to swallow.
|
| Too tough an act to follow… to follow… follow. |
