It was always hard to pin you down,
And it was only natural
For me to hope you'd come around,
But please,
Take your reservations and forget them,
You know things could be so easy if you'd let them,
And I don't want to lose you now,
Or ever.
No, I don't want to lose you now,
Or ever.
There's a darkness
In the way you sing,
And something curious in how you walk
As if you've got a broken wing,
That makes me want to help you find a way
To throw your shadow,
We can even sing songs about your past loves
At my piano,
'Cause I don't want to lose you now,
Or ever.
No, I don't want to lose you now,
Or ever.
And I can always feel it
When you're getting set to run.
Like you're halfway through the chorus
And you think the song is done.
But baby take a minute
Or take a beer out from the fridge,
So maybe we can try this time
To make it past the bridge.
Because I don't want to lose you now,
Or ever.
No, I don't want to lose you now,
Or ever.
Baby I don't want to lose you now,
Or ever.
No, I don't want to lose you now
Or ever.
