Can't change the one you are
Can't change the one you love
Lower your guard
I've made a few mistakes
I'll tell you what it takes
Under the stars
Have you seen the other me at times?
Walking on an ever looser line
Baby this is a wake
You and I will not escape
As time goes by
The world's never been older
Your head on my shoulder
So close your eyes
Stung by normality
Wronged by your family
Conventions aside
Cannot change the one you love
From inside – or from above
Just hold him tight
Walking on an ever looser line
But love has let me over every time
Baby we're on a wake
You and I will not escape
Just close your eyes
The world's never been older
Your head on my shoulder
As time goes by
Baby this is a wake
None of us will escape
Who we are
The world's never been older
Your head on my shoulder
As time goes by
