If loneliness wasn't such a familiar friend If I could tell you about the state that I'm in If every start had a bitter end How could I be here to love you? Let's begin I'll make time for you But I will not hold you down I'll cross the line for you, love 'Cause I know that it circles around If tomorrow wasn't just passing time That I already spent on yesterday's trials How could I have ever made it here free and clear? Leave it all behind 'cause right now it's all there is I'll make time for you But I will not hold you down I'll cross the line for you, love 'Cause I know that it circles around If direction was known for the compass of soul If every beginning had no need to hold on If forever was not such a long rope to hold When would we climb beyond our fear of letting go? I'll make time for you But I will not hold you down I'll cross the line for you, love 'Cause I know that it circles around I'll make time for you, babe Oh, but I will not hold you down Cross the line for you, love 'Cause I know that you'll come back around
