Eternal Spring

Well I guess you make me laugh
Make me cover my mouth in silence
Every time you talk
When I was young I wouldn't stop

And don’t you need a promise
Or a story to defend?
I wouldn't change you in the end
And I try to tell you but the words don't come, Oh I
Try to tell you but the words don’t come…

Baby, I love you but you're breaking my heart
As your wild youth plays out on the radio
I don't know what you want me to be
Is this vicious war or are we playing games now?

Run back to the house
Everything single night in my dreams
I go back to the place
I put this question on my face

And just like you
I've tried and I've tried it for years
I can't play the normal game
I get a fever just the same, oh and I just
I feel emotion but it sometimes slides away, I
See emotion from you…

Your eternal spring is falling from your arms
As you look at me with eyes too young to believe
Death it comes and then innocence it goes
Is this really hate or are we playing games?

It feels like love, it ain't nothing but the blues
Oh it's freedom and it’s pain, baby it’s everything
A world to the dogs or just a beautiful release
Is this really love or are we playing games now?
1, 2, 3, 4

You know I want you more than I need you now
Maybe that's good somehow, maybe that’s how we get by
In the 21st century without love dragging us down
I said release me, I want you but you're breaking my heart
As your fighting song plays out through my tears
In a world to the dogs I need a beautiful release
Is this really love or are we playing games now?

Don't you know that I'm in love with you baby
And I can’t afford to lose you
I can't afford this freedom in my world
Tell me love, were there days when you knew that this could be something?

And I promise you that I don't see only shadows
But I'm aching for a reason
I'm aching for the freedom from the asking, “please”
Tell me love, were there days when you knew that there could be more to life than this?
