she calls me from the cold
just when i was low
feeling short of stable
all that she intends
and all she keeps inside
isn't on the label
she says she's ashamed
and can she take me for awhile
can i be a friend
we'll forget the past
but maybe i'm not able
and i break at the bend

chorus:
we're here and now
will we ever be again
'cause i have found
all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade away, again

she dreams a champagne dream
strawberry surprise
pink linen on white paper
lavender and cream
fields of butterflies
reality escapes her
she says that love
is for fools who fall behind
i'm somewhere between
i never really know
a killer from a savior
'til i break at the bend

(chorus)

it's too far away for me to hold
too far away
it's too far away for me to hold
too far away...

guess i'll let it go
