Never Want To Lose You

Sidewalk, sidewalk
Take me where the concrete ends
I want to go
I can't hear myself talk
The walls of Jericho
are crumbling

If you let me speak
I will tell you
how you make me feel home
My heart's not weak
It's skipping like a river stone

You don't even know me
If you think I give up easily

I don't want to lose you
I never want to lose you
Though I've been doing my damnedest
To make you think
I'm no good at this

Black top, black top
Take me where the highway ends
I want to go
where the dreams walk
I want to take what's mine
and roll back again

We've come
So far
I would follow you,
Follow you
wherever you are

Love can't scar
It just throws you
in a one man clown car

You don't know me
If you think I give up easily
 
(Chorus)

I was wrong and I claim it
I'm the one to blame for it
No need to stand there and shout
There is nothing so wrong with us
That what's right with us
cannot figure this out

I don't want to lose you
I never want to lose you
I know there's craziness I do
Though I've been doing my damnedest
To make you think
I'm no good at this

How about forgiveness?
Forgiveness
Forgiveness?
How about forgiveness?
Forgiveness?
Forgiveness?

I would put down the bottle
I'll read Aristotle
Lose my friends
Whoever they are

Stop taking chances
One night dances
I'll come to you
wherever you are
