D.E.U.S. - Keep You Close lyrics

You were young, you had time on your hands and I Was a roller-coaster of the kind that needs to ride so high To dive so low All the time I had to keep you close Now I finally know how it must have hurt To see all of the love and care only work A little while and then I'd go All the time I had to keep you close What you feel is what you get You know there is no answer fit We broke the code so long ago I'm going to keep you ever close Just like on the day we met You pulling on me like a cigarette So like the sea holds to the shore I'm going to keep you ever close Now the years have a way to make you forget That we're still in the same place, no hurry yet The path we're on is the path we chose I'll still remember how to keep you close Linger on, linger on in the scheme of things We are only inhabiting our own dreams They don't come true, it's the way it goes And in the meantime I will hold you close In my heart and in my head You are the only dream I dread The fear will keep on my toes I'm going to keep you ever close Just like on the day we met You pulling on me like a cigarette So like the sea holds to the shore I'm going to keep you ever close So is this what they mean about moving on Is this really the end you won't stick around The one that stays, you're the one that throws Out the one that has kept you close And is this definition of constant change A transformation of what we hope stays the same Cold's the breeze that forever blows Warm are the hands that have kept you close Coldness is what lays ahead So when I see you should I just pretend The flower's cut but it still grows I'm going to keep you ever close Just like on the day we met I'm pulling on you like a cigarette So like the sea holds to the shore I'm going to keep you ever close I'm going to keep you ever close
