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 that 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 that 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
