Can't Let You Go

i think it might be a sign
the look i caught from you lit me up inside
and it surprised me, the way i fell to you
before i blinked, before i breathed i knew
that i couldn't let go, i couldn't let you leave
and i wouldn't stop until i made you see
we live our lives just for the chance to feel
a simple touch and a love we're sure is real

i can't let you go this time
it's a feeling i've got boiling up inside
like a blistering sun and the pull of the tide
i can't let you go this time
the amazement's so bright in your eyes
it quickens my pulse and slows down the time
as dawn's cold gray peels away the night
i can't let you go this time

how can i be so sure
i've reached the point from where i can't return
my heart is shaken, my hands i can't keep still
what i don't have now i know i never will
but what i have, what i'll have is you
and all the memories of things we've been through
i don't want, i don't want to lose you

will i know where to find you when the cold winters blow
will you come to me when you have nowhere to go
when you were away i sure found out
