lyrics

Some day maybe we'll go out for just one.
If the stars won't come down
I will pick you up but I'll let you down.
When there's hard times, baby
we'll be under the gun.
When the sad times come around
I will pick you up but I'll let you down.

And I won't love you
if you won't let me
and I've been chasing your ghost.
And I won't stay here
cause you can only change the willing.
And there'll never be an easy way out.

Some day maybe we'll go out for just one.
If the stars won't come down
I will pick you up but I'll let you down.
When there's hard times, baby
we'll be under the gun.
When the sad times come around
I will pick you up but I'll let you down.

And I lay beside you
and my hands will find you
but then I'll find my way out.
And hearts still broken
our ways and sheets unspoken.
And I'm still chasing your ghost.

And I'm comin'...
And I'm comin' home.

And I will love you
til you're old and grey
and we almost lay in a grave.
But the only thing is, this grave was built for two.
It's for you and I.
And I won't love you
if you won't wait here
for you and I.
And I will lay here
with the ground still frozen
and wait for you and I.
And I won't love you
if you won't let me.
Now I think we should fall.
