[Verse 1]

She calls me from the cold

Just when I was low, feeling short of stable

And all that she intends

And all she keeps inside isn't on the label

She says she's ashamed

Can she take me for a while?

And can I be a friend?

We'll forget the past

Or maybe I'm not able

And I break at the bend


[Chorus]

We're here and now

Will we ever be again?

'Cause I have found

All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade

Away again


[Verse 2]

She dreams a champagne dream

Strawberry surprise, pink linen on white paper

Lavender and cream

Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her

She says that love is for fools that fall behind

And I'm somewhere in between

I never really know

A killer from a savior

'Til I break at the bend


[Chorus]

We're here and now

Will we ever be again?

'Cause I have found

All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade

Away again


[Refrain]

It's too far away for me to hold

It's too far away

It's too far away for me to hold

It's too far away

Ah, oh

Yeah, it's too far away for me to hold

It's too far away

Ah, ah, oh

It's too far away for me to hold

It's too far away

It's too far away for me to hold

It's too far away

Ah, ah, oh

It's too far away for me to hold

It's too far away


[Outro]

Guess I'll let it go
