Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wait, when am I gonna lose you?
How will I let you slip through?
Careless or unkind?
Trace the curvin' on the coastline
Santa Lucia cliffside
We'll stay here for the night
[Verse 2]
I remember you said
Everything has its place
Now we'll lie in our bed
Wonderin' how to explain
You
[Verse 3]
When am I gonna lose?
When am I gonna lose?
When am I gonna lose?
When am I gonna lose?
[Verse 4]
Take another one if you need it
Or do you already feel it?
I felt it from the start
Engrave silhouette of you dancin'
Shadow play that we're castin'
On the cabin walls
[Verse 5]
You were floatin' to me
In a slow motion fade
Could I finally see
Between belief and faith?
[Verse 6]
You
When am I gonna lose?
When am I gonna lose?
When am I gonna lose?
When am I gonna lose?
[Verse 7]
I remember you closing the shutters
And layin' down by my side
And the light that was still slippin' through
It was painting your body in stripes
[Verse 8]
I remember the trees summoned down
Like an archangel choir
And the ocean was all we could see
And I knew that I wanted you
[Verse 9]
When am I gonna lose?
