I can recall when I first fell so hard
You looked right through me and I swooned
There was something blue
In your soft green eyes
You disarmed me and the walls fell down, down
I will walk you out of the desert, you said
And I believed you
'Cause I wanted to believe
I will take you by the hand, you said
I held out my hand and you pulled away
My pretty little one, my pretty little one
Forever and ever, I remember
My pretty little one, my pretty little one
Forever and ever, I remember
My pretty little one, I remember
My pretty little one, forever and ever
I can recall when it first took shape
Like camera lens coming to focus
And I rushed to meet the tide
And I felt bowled over
Mostly ‘cause I was fool enough let you in
I let you take over
And you ran the joint right into the ground
You tossed a match and set the whole world on fire
And we danced among the ruins
And we drank and we died laughing
What do I see, what is you and what is me
One plus one is three
I could be angry
But the anger would kill the love
Because love is fragile and anger devours it
And I don’t want what we have
To come to ruins
To be like all those others
All the others who lost their patience
And left me alone out in this desert
That I mentioned above
I just want to feel love
Hold on to it tight
I want to hold onto that love forever
