You let me into your life unaware that there was magic and fire in the night
And back then I was just a little boy
I made mistakes that caused you so much pain
All I know is that I’m older now

Some people think that it’s best to refrain from the conventions of old-fashioned love
Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness
They tell themselves that they’re too young to settle down
Girl I promise you I’m older now

And this has been hard enough for you
I know it’s been hard enough for me
In telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don’t you see,
While this has been hard enough for you
It’s been hard enough for me

I wasn’t looking when we built this walls
When we spread my dreams at your feet
Let’s not let times build the flood rise
Before my thoughts begin [bad word] I think I’m getting older now

And this has been hard enough for you
I know it’s been hard enough for me
In telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don’t you see,
While this has been hard enough for you
It’s been hard enough for me

Can’t stand the thought of another, talking to you sweet my dear
Where would I be tonight if you hadn’t held me here, in your arms?

And this has been hard enough for you
I know it’s been hard enough for me
In telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don’t you see,
While this has been hard enough for you
It’s been hard enough for me
