There we sat in a parked car
Trying to write the words, you held my hand and whispered
A quote you heard somewhere
There's something about staying by my side
'The pleasure would be all mine', you said softly
I wanna take you far from here
Some place quiet, where everything is green
And nothing ever goes wrong
And if right now, you can take my hand
And join me in the new life, I'll be waiting there for you
The road is long, and there are no signs
To direct you home to me, my dear
'The pleasure would be all mine', you said softly
You can change your mind, but not your heart
So, if you try and fake it again, I'll know
And if you try to make it, then we'll grow
Old and die in each others' arms
With nothing left unsaid
And it would be as perfect as life would allow
And the pleasure, my dear, would be all mine
(And the pleasure, my dear, would be all mine)
And the pleasure, my dear, would be all mine
(All mine, all mine...)
Well, I believe in heads-up pennies, and four leaf clovers, over and over
Still, I can't see my luck running out right in front of me
You change your mind, but not your heart
So, if you try and fake it again, I'll know
And if you try to make it, then we'll grow
Old and die in each others' arms
