There's a certain kind of way
I know that you and I could be
But I should probably tell you
In advance that I'm sorry
I'm afraid that things are changing
I don't know if I can face it
I'm thinking about a time
when we were only 17
We wouldn't ever lie about
the things we were feeling
Is it me that's getting colder?
Maybe I don't wanna know that
All this time
My head and heart were out of sync
But I know that
The ship is slowly sailing
Out of sight
I try to swim my way against
the changing tide
The coast is only fading
Whatever comes to mind is just my callow memory
If I was any more than just a wandering folly
I could see that I'm a simple man
Too much thinking for my heart
Oh no, don't go
I'll give you everything you
wanted and even more
I can't know for how
But if he don't show you love
then just forget about him
All this time
My head and heart were out of sync
But I know that
The ship is slowly sailing
Out of sight
I try to swim my way against
the changing tide
The coast is only fading
It's only right to let go
Dead in history
But it won't suffice
Just to know it wasn't meant to be
All this time
My head and heart were out of sync
But I know that
The ship is slowly sailing
Out of sight
I try to swim my way against
the changing tide
The coast is only fading
(Changing tide)
(The coast is only fading)
(Changing tide)
(The coast is only fading)
