Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know
You decorate the garage walls
Hang in people's halls
Live in secret drawers
[Verse 2]
If you could look around you
I wonder what you'd see
[Verse 3]
Fiction
That's all you really are, I know
Editorial dreams
They can't make you real
[Verse 4]
Tell me where you came from
And where you're going to
[Chorus]
I won't ever, no, I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause, of anything she does
I won't ever, no, I'll never get to hold her
What do you think? This aching, could be love
[Verse 5]
You know
You've figured in some fantasies
You would not believe
Is what you had to do
[Verse 6]
Life goes on around you
And all because of you
[Chorus]
No, I won't ever, no, I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause, of anything she does
I won't ever, no, I'll never get to hold her
Do you think this aching, could be love?
[Chorus]
I won't ever, no, I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause, of anything she does
I won't ever, no, I'll never get to hold her
Do you think this aching, could be love?
[Verse 7]
But you know
That in twenty years or more
You'll still look the same
Well, as you do today
[Verse 8]
You'll still be a young girl
When I'm old and gray
[Chorus]
No, I won't ever, no, I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause of anything she does
I won't ever, no, I'll never get to hold her
What do you think? This aching, could be love
[Chorus]
I won't ever, no, I'll never get to know her
Or be the cause of anything she does
I won't ever, no, I'll never get to hold her
Do you think this aching, could be love?
[Verse 9]
No, you'll never
No, you'll never
No, you'll never
[Verse 10]
No, you'll never, never
(No, you'll never)
You'll never get to hold her
(No, you'll never)
[Verse 11]
(No, you'll never)
No, this aching could be love
(No, you'll never)
I'll be in love
[Verse 12]
(No, you'll never)
(No, you'll never)
I won't ever know her
(No, you'll never)
[Outro]
This aching, could be love
