I would open up the book
But I don't know where to start to look
You're so tall and you're so strong
Stand by me but this won't take too long
Do you remember I called for you
And you were gone

I thought we were safe but I was wrong
I'm just left here standing looking on
You ask me which way I'll go
Whichever was the wind blows I don't know

And there is no eternity at any price
And beggars and choosers don't get to live in paradise
People die for just one kiss

And it's plain to me
We are not being everything that we could be
No one wants to run the risk

Sometimes I wish I was blind
I thought I saw a whole lot more than this
