What is it that keeps me here?
When I could see you smile before it disappears.
Into space, into space, we’ve just travellers on the way,
To someplace, someday, where everything is crystal clear.
Chorus:
What does it take? To make an escape?
Still I want you…
Try let me go,
Forget it you know,
Still I want you.
Still I want you.
But it’s alright, it’s only love.
Pain that rushes in before we laugh it off.
What you want, what you want is not someone that you’ve got,
That’s too easy to let go, that’s too easy to control…
Chorus:
It’s too true to be good, too true to be good,
Too true to be good,
But still I want you.
