lyrics

You're hanging in the moment
And you think you’ll stay a while
But you’re locked into the motion
And you know you're just a child
Deep down still you know you're just a child

But your time is only growing
So you skate the borderline
You know, I’ve never seen it but I know it
You say “I’ll take you there sometime”
deep down though your love’s just passing by

And I'll never know what hit me
And I'll never know the touch
And I'll never know the feeling
But I think I've felt enough
(Holding it back, letting go)

You’re driving from the evening
Try to chase the fading sun
on that line between believing
and reliving what you’ve done
it’s not just you who’s on the run

so if you wondered how I knew it
that your love’s just passing by
I see you in the mirror
where there is no alibi
(holding it back, letting go)

And I'll never know what hit me
And I'll never know the touch
And I'll never know the feeling
But I think I've felt enough
(Holding it back, letting go)
