lyrics

* I can see tho you've come so far - you surely will run foul of yr aim - & I can see you will fall so hard - oh so far away - I can see it will come to this - you bring yourself to yr worse fear - I can see it will turn amiss - on some sorry day - & we won't begin to belong if we cannot trust/ ... not while you feel so frightened, not while you fear this love -we won't begin to belong until the day you change yr way.
* you seem so sure that you stand to lose - living all yr life like some game - with odds that are stacked up up to fall on you as yr hopes start to raise - so you watch yourself, check yourself where you can stay safe - but you keep yourself lonely this way - and your hurt yourself worse by being afraid that all love's a charade - & we won't begin to belong if we cannot trust/not while you feel so frightened, not while you fear this love/we won't begin to belong until the day you change yr way.
