Like Lovers (Holding On)
Texas · Other Songs - Texas
But are we any nearer?
There's a feeling we're reaching for
In the feilds where it all began
Listen do you hear?
I thought I heard a promise
But that empty feeling grows
And I'm scared that I will forget
Chorus:
But I, I can remember
Look around and round
'Cause people still hang on
See it's me, I'm the one
Believe in me, I've just begun
We'll be here when the lights come on
When it all comes down to me and you
Just a boy and girl
Trying to change a cold world
I don't accept that you'd understand
When you look at this empty land
But I, I can remember
Look around and round
'Cause people still hang on
And I, I can remember babe
Being light all day
Like lovers left holding on
See it's me, I'm the one
Believe in me, I've just begun
We'll be here when the lights come on
When it all comes down to me and you
(Chorus adlib till fade)
