Lyrics
Baby, what you doing' with these games you know I'm hearing' those voices
They say run with your dreams and make good choices
And I know what I want to give
And I know what I want to get
But I've barely touched it yet
There's names, there's faces
So many different places
And I want to feel them all
And I need for your love to hold me
And I just pray it doesn't hold me down
And I need for you love to trust me
With both feet on the ground
But lovers won't blind the reason, blind the reason I breath
No lovers won't blind the reason, blind the reason I breath
As the years get shorter, the miles get longer..
Oh, I know that I'm wiser, but am I stronger..
Well I know what I want to do, so baby can you see me through
Or will I be torn in two
Cause there's a life time of pages
I've held them back for ages
And I want to see them all
And I need for your patience, cause I can be such a child
And I need, for you graceful, warm approving smile
But lovers won't blind the reason, blind the reason I breath
No, lovers won't blind the reason, blind the reason I breath
