You applyin' pressure
To help me crystalise
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralysed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied?

Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest

[ahh ahh ahh] x4

You don't move slow
And taking steps in my direction
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lessen your affection?

You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
Don't burn down our home
I won't live without

Placid as a mountain to the sea
I wish that time would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer

[ahh ahh ahh] x4

Placid as a mountain to the sea (Things have gotten closer to the sun)
I wish that time would take me over (And I've done things in small doses)
I've been down on my knees (So don't think that I'm pushing you away)
And you just keep on getting closer (When you're the one that I've kept closest)

Go slow (x5)
