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 And time goes by 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
