Lyrics
I am buried up to my ears / this work won't let me catch a break
Now I'm drowning in my deepest fears and I arrive at your place dependably late
Who am I to let this life pass me by?
All I ever wanted was love
And you gave it to me / You gave it to me
I'm leaving tomorrow, even though I just got home
So before I make it out the door, Baby, it's okay
Stand in my way / Stand in my way
The words you talk, the way you laugh, it's just like sun on my face
And all I ever needed was love
And you gave it to me / You gave it to me
I'm leaving tomorrow, even though I just got home
So before I make it out the door, Baby, it's okay
Stand in my way / Stand in my way
And we can run away, leave it all behind
Just like in the movies, but I've got peace of mind
Knowing you've been patient, oh God, it doesn't make sense
That after all, you're still mine
I'm leaving tomorrow, even though I just got home
So before I make it out the door, Baby, it's okay
Stand in my way / Stand in my way
All I ever wanted was love
And you gave it to me
