Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I guess that it’s to be expected
When I have to talk this way
When I have to speak in tongues
I want to say what can’t be said
[Verse 2]
I have to keep a straight face
When I’m breaking up inside
If you know who, knew what I thought
Then we’d both be crucified
[Verse 3]
I dream about you every night
But you’re just beyond my reach
So now you never know my touch
And we shall never meet
[Verse 4]
Mother nature's keeping her socks on
Father time's gonna be late
Ships at night are passing silently
And our love will have to wait
[Verse 5]
My bags are always ready
My keys are in the car
Anytime you want to jump
I’ll catch you in my arms
[Verse 6]
Yes, I'll catch you in my arms
I'll catch you in my arms
Anytime, anytime, anytime you want to jump
I’ll catch you in my arms
