lyrics

Love is nothing more than a close-and-open door
And it'll shut you out before you're through
Every time I start to fall, I make myself recall
That it's just what I don't need ...and what I do

Oh, but you're the highest hope I've ever had
It's gonna hurt when this goes bad

Love is like a song that carries you along
It's in your heart, but never in your hand
Though I'll never live without it, I know I'll always doubt it:
The Melody that I can't understand

Oh, but you're the highest hope I've ever had
It's gonna hurt when this goes bad

Oh, it's everything, but every thought is mad
It's passionate, but just a passing fad
And you're the highest hope I've ever had
It's gonna hurt when this goes bad.
