The Wake - a-ha

Can’t change the one you are

Can’t change the one you love

Lower your guard

I’ve made a few mistakes

I’ll tell you what it takes

Under the stars

Have you seen the other me at times?

Walking on an ever looser line

Baby this is a wake

You and I will not escape

As time goes by

The world’s never been older

Your head on my shoulder

So close your eyes

Stung by normality

Wronged by your family

Conventions aside

Cannot change the one you love

From inside — or from above

Just hold him tight

Walking on an ever looser line

But love has let me over every time

Baby we’re on a wake

You and I will not escape

Just close your eyes

The world’s never been older

Your head on my shoulder

As time goes by

Baby this is a wake

None of us will escape

Who we are

The world’s never been older

Your head on my shoulder

As time goes by
