Story Behind The Song
The song explores a sense of dread at meeting an old flame, years down the track , and realising that the old flame still has a hold on the writer. The writer fears losing control, falling hopelessly in love all over again.

Lyrics
Thought I could see you again
Without the sky falling down
Thought I could see you again
Without a crack in the ground
Swallowing me up today
To break my body to dust
Swallowing me up again
The way it seems that it must
What can you make of this
My head kind of aches
As if my heart?s in my mouth
Just like the first time we met
Thought I had grown up enough
To get right over this stuff
But now I?m back here again
And you?re still beautiful darling
When it?s been five long years
Since I talked to you last
It meant the world to me
To get to look at your face
How many times have I got
To pretend to be your friend
I want to see you again
I hope it won?t be the end
But what can you make of this??
If I can?t get you
I?ll never forget you
If I can?t get you
How am I going to forget you
