One step closer to the door,
Two knees crashing to the floor,
Three words settling the score,
And I know you've got the fourth.
Always, always.
Always, always.
Five nights closer to your door,
Six times I wish I'd known more,
Seventeen and walking out your door,
I known that you will soar,
Away, away.
Always, always.
And I hold my breath,
I'm hinged on a promise of better days,
I'll hold your hand and give you what you need.
I know times are hard,
Tough for you, tough for me,
Everything's wrong.
And I've raked my mind to find a reason to go on,
Short of writing songs.
Eighteen, in my college dorm,
Nineteen, taking on a storm,
Twenty years and wishing I'd done more,
Still settling this score.
Always, always,
Always, always.
So I hold my breath,
I'm hinged on a promise of better days,
I'll hold your hand and give you what you need.
I know times are hard,
Tough for you, tough for me,
Everything's wrong.
And I've raked my mind to find a reason to go on,
Short of writing songs.
Will I wake up one day,
And find that I'm okay?
Will I stake out a claim,
And find it's just a game?
Always.
