Chalk up another bridge
That I've burnt
Before I crossed
I'd like another chance
To win back
Whatever I lost
What did I say?
What did I say?
To push you away
What can I do?
What can I do?
To be for you, the hero of your day
Sand through my fingers
Always returns to the waves
Love runs like water
You keep slipping away
Another dance, one
More advance
And you escape my kiss
But you must understand
A mortal man can be nothing
When his love is missed
Here you are before me
Like a brick wall, beautiful and tall
I try to get through
but I don't want to harm you
Here I am like a tidal wave
Or a ripple on the lake
I try to seem strong
but only time can charm you
But sand through my fingers
Always returns to the waves
And love runs like water
But you keep slipping away
So I try
To be the hero of your day
Was I so blind?
I let you slip away
