Love ridden, I've looked at you 
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles 
I've wished on the lidded blue flames 
Under your brow 
And baby, I wished for you 
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed 
And I wanna crawl in with you 
But I cry instead 
I want your warm, but it will only make 
Me colder when it's over 
So I can't tonight, baby 

No, not baby anymore - if I need you 
I'll just use your simple name 
Only kisses on the cheek from now on 
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave 

My hand won't hold you down no more 
The path is clear to follow through 
I stood too long in the way of the door 
And now I'm giving up on you
