Lyrics

Again, I lay awake
And I cried because of waste

I'd love to
But only with you
Only with you
Time is gonna wipe us out

There, I've said it loud and clear
So that you will hear
There's no one in view - just you, just you
And time will never wipe you out

Now I've had enough
I've had more than could be my rightful share
Of nights I can't bear
How can it be fair?
Time must wipe them out

So again, I lay awake in a trance
Oh, I just want my chance
But only with you
Only with you

That's all...
That's all...
