Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Never be the same again)
I call you up whenever things go wrong
You're always there, you are my shoulder to cry on
I can't believe it took me quite so long
To take the forbidden step
Is this something that I might regret?
[Verse 2]
(Come on, come on) Nothing ventured, nothing gained
(You are the one) A lonely heart that can't be tamed
(Come on, come on) I'm hoping that you feel the same
This is something that I can't forget
[Verse 3]
I thought that we would just be friends
Things will never be the same again
It's just the beginning, it's not the end
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
(Never be the same again)
Never be the same again
(Never be the same again)
[Verse 4]
Now I know that we were close before
I'm glad I realized I need you so much more
And I don't care what everyone will say
It's about you and me, and we'll never be the same again
[Verse 5]
I thought that we would just be friends
Things will never be the same again
It's just the beginning, it's not the end
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
(Never be the same again)
Never be the same again
(Never be the same again)
Uh, night and day
Black beach sand to red clay
The U.S. to U.K., N.Y.C. to L.A.
From sidewalks to highways
See, it'll never be the same
What I'm sayin', my mind frame never change
Till you came and rearranged
But sometimes it seems completely forbidden
To discover those feelings that we kept so well-hidden
Where there's no competition
And you render my condition
Though improbable, it's not impossible
For a love that can be unstoppable
But wait, a fine line's between fate and destiny
Do you believe in the things that were just meant to be?
When you tell me the stories of your quest for me
Picturesque is the picture you paint effortlessly
And as our energies mix and begin to multiply
Everyday situations, they start to simplify
So things will never be the same between you and I
We intertwined our life forces and now we're unified
[Verse 6]
I thought that we would just be friends
Things will never be the same again
It's just the beginning, it's not the end
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
(Come on, come on)
Things will never be the same again
(You are the one)
Never be the same again
[Verse 7]
It's not a secret anymore
We'll never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Never be the same again
[Verse 8]
(Never be the same again)
Never be the same again
(Never be the same again)
Oh, yeah, never be the same again
(Come on, come on)
Never be the same again
(Never be the same again)
Never be the same again
