Lyrics
VERSE
We know how it's supposed to go; variations on a theme
If it works, love will grow inside a precious dream
But love, wisdom asserts, does not conquer all
And the love can turn to hurt when life comes to call
PRE-CHORUS
Many times it's not a question of fair or right or wrong
Emotions other than love can be so very strong
CHORUS
It's not hard to see forever when you're feeling like you do
The loving comes so easy; it's the opposite of blue
But that can be a little bit like wishing on a star
So don't get too close together until you know how far apart you really are
VERSE
So what does all this say? Where should you go from here?
Maybe hold yourself at bay; hang on to a little fear
Until you know that love and life will not be torn apart
By all the pulls and tugs that can interrupt your hearts
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
Together apart; fears for the heart
