  • If I could write I'd set all the words free
    to follow you
    Tell you wonder, tell you secrets and solitude
    I've had to let go of so much
    It's hard to hold on now
    Something far off is pulling me and
    When I go this time I don't think I'm coming back

    I took your ring that never comes aff and put it on
    Sorry to lose you, sorry to keep you after you were gone
    Nothing is small, nothing is unexpected
    I want more
    When I go this time I don't think I'm coming back

    Desire's the element that I can't fight
    Dream is the arm of God
    Girl's looking for themselves in your eyes
    I'm looking for you
    What's this supposed to be some kind of perfect
    I want more
    When I go this time I don't think I'm coming back

    Coming back
    Coming back
    Coming back Writer/s: LESLIE PHILLIPS
