keep your arms tied tight round my wandering heart
never let me go,let me not depart
i'm trying to keep a tight grip on what i can change and what i can't

because i'd kiss every inch of your tired bones
if it helped to keep this guilt locked down in my soul
it's hard to tell the difference between what i can and can't control


but if i seem quite distant it's just because
sometimes i feel a ghost of the man i was
and sure I fantasise, some dark nights, of going behind your back
but when i say i love you, i mean just that


if you could see my sordid adulterous dreams
you'd realize my conscience is not so clean
they're a million light years apart
what i say and what i mean

keep your arms tied tight round my wandering heart
never let me go,let me not depart
i'm trying to keep a tight grip on what i can change and what i can't

though it's only human to feel this way
i struggle with such titanic guilt each day
sure i cheat and lie in my mind, but i'll keep it at that
when i say i love you,that's concrete fact

so we sing la lala la....
