I will never take your quickness lightly
No bridges moves you no half ways honey
Promise me you’ll be here as I fall
I’ll stay numb till you call on me
If this is your will
I’ll be stayin’ tall yet still
You’re gonna see me soon
I don’t do well without you this is your chance
If it’s gonna be me by your palm tree
Have me know that you’ve found me
Or if I’m revealed - set on your stage
If you’ll be by me - through everything
Say you’ll never use that slickness on me
Won’t ever turn and go blind on me
That it has no sayin’ if I won’t
Hang on to those teen manners
Kill frequently I’ll
Rock you steady in return
Have you raise to the
Affectionate way
Come just in the shape of me
You’re gonna see me soon
I don’t do well without you at all here’s your chance
If it’s gonna be me by your palm tree
Have me know that you’ve found me
Or if this is farewell
If you’ll be man to break down that shell
That you will have me – in sickness and hell
Longest time has its eyes on me and say
Aim to be happy through everything that yell
Place your hands on what mend your ways
And pray we won’t slide - won’t slide...
Come you will see all method end - insight breed in
this direction
From here on we’ll take on what’s born – what’s to be
