You were young
You had time
On your hands and I
Was a rollercoaster of the kind that needs to ride so high
To die so low
All the time I had to keep you close
Not finally now
How we must have hurt
To see all of your love and care
Only work a little while and then I go
All the time I had to keep you close
What you feel is what you get
You know there is no answer fit
We broke the code so long ago
I'm going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
You pulling on me like a cigarette
So like the seaholes to the shore
I'm going to keep you ever close
Now the years turn away to make you forget
Make me stare at the same place
Where the path we are on is the path we chose
I still remember how to keep you close
Linger on, linger on in the scheme of things
We're only inhabiting on oh
Dreams still come true
It's the way it goes
And in the meantime I will hold you close
And in my heart and in my head
You are the only dream I dread
The fear will keep me on my toes
I'm going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
You pulling on me like a cigarette
So like the seaholes to the shore
I'm going to keep you ever close
So is this what they mean about moving on
Is this really the end
You won't stick around the one that stays
You are the one that throws
I'm the one that is kept you close
This is definition of constant change
Transformation what we hope stays the same
Cold is the breeze but forever blows
One of the hands that would have had kept you close
Coldness is when days ahead
So when I see should I just pretend
The flower is cut but it still grows
Im going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
I'm pulling on you like a cigarette
So like the seaholes to the shore
I'm going to keep you ever close
Keep close
Keep close
Keep close
Keep close
Keep close
Keep close
I'm going to keep you ever close
Keep close
Keep close
Keep close
Keep close
Keep close
Keep close
