a-ha all i wanted was 2cu shine you don’t think you can be what i want but hey you should know this you don’t have to change don’t change your face is white and your eyes are pale but hey it’s alright you don’t have to change everything’s allright nothing stays the same it comes and goes in waves no one is to blame you don’t have to change don’t change envelop me darling bring me in i am too centered on myself you are in everything envelop me sweetheart bring me home you live like time is precious i spend too much alone envelop me honey set me free your weakness is a gift my strength my enemy envelop me honey make me safe meet me anywhere take me any place every word is a book unwritten every sound is a song unsung every moment is a picture taken then it’s gone envelop me darling would you please the days are growing shorter and with it comes unease envelop me sweetheart make me whole you say i’m innocent i wouldn’t really know envelop me honey please don’t wait we’ll go away somewhere we’ll start some other place envelop me honey don’t let go just give me one more chance give me one more go every word is a promise broken every sound is a song unsung every moment is a picture taken then it’s gone you were never sweeter than right before you broke i was never smarter than just before i spoke nothing ever happens just the way we plan all of us unfolding any way we can a hand that hits across the face reads better on the news but the hand that strokes you tenderly can leave a bigger bruise and nothing i can say now will be of any use you were never sweeter than right before you broke i was never smarter than just before i spoke
