LYRICS
I close my eyes and I see
There’s no escape you’re always there
Your name lingers on my lips like and adolescent prayer
I can’t stand it when you’re gone but I’m bound to misery
Cause I don’t know how to hold you when you’re next to me

I don’t wanna leave you, I don’t wanna stay
I don’t wanna keep on keeping on this way
Each moment is a mystery we never know how we will be
I’m worn out from intensity, why won’t it ever get easy

Here we go again babe, getting blown around by the wind
It pushes us together then pulls us apart again
You say you’re gonna leave me and I beg you to stay
But when I get your heart back mine goes away

I don’t wanna leave you, I don’t wanna stay
I don’t wanna keep on keeping on this way
Each moment is a mystery we never know how we will be
I’m worn out from intensity, why won’t it ever get easy
