"Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds ways to kneel and kiss the ground." - Rumi


It's come down to this again
Girl, I just gotta let you know
That I do not trust myself
With letting you go

Now here we are again
As the sun plays with your skin
And I'm caught in the beauty of your smile
Oh, oh, oh if I could stay here for a while

I know,
This has gotta be somethin' new...

Just give me one (one) chance!
To turn out the lights
One (one) chance!
To get it right
We can't let this pass us by
We've go to hold on tight

So give me just one (one) chance!
To show you what I mean
One (one) chance
To make everything alright
We'll hold each other soon tonight

And girl, here you are again
In my dreams I'm sleepin' in
It seems so real, but it's in my mind
So slow it down, let's take our time

Oh I know,
This has gotta be somethin' new...

So give me but one chance
Yeah, just one chance...
So give me but just one chance, yeah...

And then the time will come
When we have nowhere to run
Trapped by our insecurities
In the silence, just you and me
Together we will be
Together we will be...

In the dark with nothing to say
Don't worry, girl, there will come a day
To be set free
We're running free...

And I know,
This has gotta be somethin' new...

Just give me one (one) chance!
To turn out the lights
One (one) chance!
To get it right
We can't let this pass us by
We've go to hold on tight

So give me just one (one) chance!
To show you what I mean
One (one) chance
To make everything alright
We'll hold each other soon tonight
