You try to beat me, you try to deceive me,
You think I will fall when you vanish and leave me,
But I will not break, I will not break,
As long as I keep on running from you
Until I fall into the undertow.

White lines passing by, blurring into your eyes,
Peering outside with your cheek on the window.
So many stars and so many places,
How can I ever gain your fascination?
There are so many roads, so many lightyears,
Why won't you ever just leave me behind, here?
I've got my hands on the wheel, but you're the one driving
Amidst napkins and maps, with your smile, so contriving.

I look into your eyes, I look into the stars,
So many wishes rising up from my heart:
I wish you would see me, I wish you would need me,
I wish that you weren't always damaged completely.
I wish I could know you, I wish I could show you
Everything that you have always and will mean to me.

But you keep on crying and I keep on smiling,
We'll just sit here in silence, to speak would be lying.
So I will keep on fleeing While you keep on bleeding,
Both of us knowing that we'll never do a single thing.

Unless I steer us astray,
Run off of the road,
Take us the one place that you've never dared to go.
It'll be like a dream,
One where we both can fly.
For once you'll be happy when I look into your eyes.

But we'll both stay here, with our feet on the ground,
And to you I'm indebted, and I'm shackled, and bound, because
I love you.
