Life is a funny thing,
The more you try the more it starts crumbling,
And when you hold it too closely,
That's when it all starts spinning away
But baby, I would stay inside
And wait for you,
I want to die but there's nothing
Else we can do,
But baby, I would stay inside
And wait for you,
I want you well and I'll go through hell
Just to make it true.
I'll wait for you,
I will hide away and wait for you.
Oh, it's such a tricky thing,
All the joy and grief that life can bring
And though the sun goes down
Somewhere else it's dawn and rising
But baby, I would stay inside
And wait for you,
I want to die but there's nothing
Else we can do,
But baby, I would stay inside
And wait for you,
I want you well and I'll go through hell
Just to make it true.
I'll wait for you,
I will hide away and wait for you.
Now, we're so far away
I can't hold you when you cry and it kills me.
And though it hurts to see,
Through the tears your eyes are sparkling
