Same when I left you
   Now the same upon return
   As your pages flip over
   You seem to let them burn
   You drink from the bottle
   That stole your friend
   Your friend
   Your friend
   Now the seasons
   They come and they go
   I watch the blossoms
   As the bees take their own
   I peer through the water
   That floods my eyes
   My eyes
   My eyes
  
   I want you in my life
   I feel I need you in my life
   But I can't have you
   Not tonight
   Not these days
   Not these days
   Not these days
   Not these days
  
   I watch our children
   As they play in the sand
   Speaking those words
   That only you can understand
   I know inside of you
   You feel that they are gold
   You know there's time
   They are not yet old
  
   They want you in their lives
   I feel they need you in their lives
   But they can't have you
   Not tonight
   Not these days
   Not these days
   Not these days
   Not these days
  
   I hope these things
   They come alive inside you
   And you recognise
   I hope these things
  
   They come alive and bite you
   In the night
   I see you standing with each child
   And laughing
   As you feed their smiles
   I hope these things
   They come alive and bite you
   In the night
   Because we
   We need you
   In our lives
   Because we
   We need you
   In our lives
  
   Because these days are
   These days are nothing
   Tell me where do we fit in
   These days are
   These days are nothing
   Tell me where do we fit in
