Because it makes no sense now... to leave
I hold you tight, searching for you North, East, South, and West
To plead with you
I will search for you, I must find you, I will fall into every country
I must bind myself to your ways, turning over every stone
Wherever you want to be, I will find that place
If you want to forgive me, I will find you, my treasure
Because it makes no sense now... to leave
I hold you tight, searching for you North, East, South, and West
To plead with you, not to leave
It will turn out the way you like
Do you remember when you lay next to me in the sun?
I will do everything you say
I will be there when you ask for me
Where do you want to go?
Because it makes no sense now... to leave
I hold you tight, searching for you North, East, South, and West
To plead with you, not to leave
Because it makes no sense now... to leave
I hold you tight, searching for you North, East, South, and West
To plead with you
Don't think too long when I stand before you
And tell you that I only want to go with you
I will take you home
Until then, I won't allow myself any
Where do you want to go?
Because it makes no sense now... to leave me
I hold you tight, searching for you North, East, South, and West
To plead with you
Where do you want to go?
Because it makes no sense now... to leave
I hold you tight, searching for you North, East, South, and West
To plead with you, not to leave
Because it makes no sense now... to leave
I hold you tight, searching for you North, East, South, and West
To plead with you, not to leave
