[Hook]
You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving

I can see it in your eyes
Some things that lost their meaning


Devote to me
Alone with me

Say with me
"Why would you ever want to leave?"


[Hook]

Fade out of view
I wouldn't do that to you

I wouldn't just leave us alone
When we could be close, close, close


Hold me close when you could leave us alone
Why would you just leave us alone
When we have been close, close


[Hook] x2
