Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hold on to me
There's something here worth saving
Hold on to me
There's a tidal wave pulling us apart
Lie next to me
I hear it in your voice
Lie next to me
We can make a choice
Change our destiny
When we kiss
[Chorus]
The power's in your hands
I just don't understand
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
How can you justify
The love we left behind?
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
[Verse 2]
Ooh
I can't tell if this is ending or beginning
Ooh
And I'll do anything to keep the embers burning
Ooh
How did we come so far from who we used to be?
So lie next to me
So we can make a choice
Change our destiny
When we kiss
[Chorus]
The power's in your hands
I just don't understand
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
How can you justify
The love we left behind?
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
[Bridge]
Did we fall into the sun?
Was the passion all it was?
Can you make someone the one?
The one
Lie next to me
I hear it in your voice
Lie next to me
We can make a choice
Change our destiny
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
Tears in your eye–
When we kiss
Kiss, how did it ever come to this?
[Chorus]
The power's in your hands
I just don't understand
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
How can you justify
The love we left behind?
How did it ever come to this?
Tears in your eyes when we kiss
