You let me into your life unaware that there was magic and fire in the night And back then I was just a little boy I made mistakes that caused you so much pain All I know is that I’m older now
Some people think that it’s best to refrain from the conventions of old-fashioned love Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness They tell themselves that they’re too young to settle down Girl I promise you I’m older now
And this has been hard enough for you I know it’s been hard enough for me In telling myself that I can roll with the changes
And when the water gets high above your head Darling don’t you see, While this has been hard enough for you It’s been hard enough for me
I wasn’t looking when we built this walls When we spread my dreams at your feet Let’s not let times build the flood rise Before my thoughts begin to run I think I’m getting older now
And this has been hard enough for you I know it’s been hard enough for me In telling myself that I can roll with the changes
And when the water gets high above your head Darling don’t you see, While this has been hard enough for you It’s been hard enough for me
Can’t stand the thought of another, talking to you sweet my dear Where would I be tonight if you hadn’t held me here, in your arms?
And this has been hard enough for you I know it’s been hard enough for me In telling myself that I can roll with the changes
And when the water gets high above your head Darling don’t you see, While this has been hard enough for you It’s been hard enough for me
