I swear these days go by too [bad word] take my hand, I'll walk with you.
we can pretend we'll never lose.
down by the sea on [bad word] take my hand we'll walk away.
we can pretend we'll never change.

and let's not ever take it back.
and let's not forget that,
that we were once in love,
were in love.

and all the wrongs that could be right,
and all songs we sing tonight,
are amongst the things that i hold tight.
and off and on we fade away,
depending on how feelings change.
we may be gone, we'll maybe stay.

and let's not ever take it back.
and let's not forget that,
that we were once in love,
were in love.

so no more wasting days away.
so no more phony masquerades.
i will just say what i should say.
i will just stay where i should stay.
it would never occur to me,
we could be told what to believe.
it's all along been all we need,
just to belong,
just to both see,
that we,
were in love.
