If loneliness wasn't such a familiar friend

If I could tell you about

the state that I'm in

If every start had a bitter end

How could I be here to love you?

Let's begin

I'll make time for you

But I will not hold you down

I'll cross the line for you, love

'Cause I know that it circles around

If tomorrow wasn't just passing time

That I already spent on yesterday's trials

How could I have ever made it here free and clear?

Leave it all behind 'cause right now it's all there is

I'll make time for you

But I will not hold you down

I'll cross the line for you, love

'Cause I know that it circles around

If direction was known

for the compass of soul

If every beginning

had no need to hold on

If forever was not such a long rope to hold

When would we climb beyond our fear of letting go?

I'll make time for you

But I will not hold you down

I'll cross the line for you, love

'Cause I know that it circles around

I'll make time for you, babe

Oh, but I will not hold you down

Cross the line for you, love

'Cause I know that you'll come back around
