this here's a story about me being true and how i'm falling for you and how i don't know what i should do
and so you tell me that you're leaving today i hope it helps in some way me showing how much i want you to stay
what do you say we take this small difference of opinion and split it in half and we divide and divide it from there
and with a piece cut down as thin as a hair without even a care we let it go in the fair fair wind
*oh my dear don't you leave today
yesterday you wanted to stay
and tomorrow today is yesterday
and now i fear if you go away
tomorrow you'll change your mind
but tomorrow today is yesterday*
i'll change your mind if you just look in my eyes and see i'm lost and confused about the prospect of losing you
my eyes they dilate on a deep deep level, every part of me trembles in the presence of benevolent you
a flicker of light that strikes a flame in my eye as i get hypnotized by mixed signs and wiles from you
and in my brain you're like a faction of rebels that control all the levels from my bass to my treble, it's you
oh when i'm without you babe
i get tangled up in time and space
a camera clicks and i'm stuck in a place without you
no i can't be without you babe
tomorrow today and yesterday
fade away to every lonely day without you
