There's a certain kind of way I know that you and I could be But I should probably tell you in advance that I'm sorry I'm afraid that things are changing I don't know if I can face it I'm thinking about a time when we were only 17 We wouldn't ever lie about the things we were feeling Is it me that's getting colder? Maybe I don't wanna know that All this time My head and heart were out of sync But I know that The ship is slowly sailing Out of sight I try to swim my way against the changing tide The coast is only fading Whatever comes to mind is just my callow memory If I was any more than just a wandering folly I could see that I'm a simple man Too much thinking for my heart Oh no, don't go I'll give you everything you wanted and even more I can't know for how long "But if he don't show you love then just forget about him" All this time My head and heart were out of sync But I know that The ship is slowly sailing Out of sight I try to swim my way against the changing tide The coast is only fading It's only right to let go Dead in history But it won't suffice Just to know it wasn't meant to be All this time My head and heart were out of sync But I know that The ship is slowly sailing Out of sight I try to swim my way against the changing tide The coast is only fading Changing tide The coast is only fading Changing tide The coast is only fading
