lyrics

VERSE 1
I heard you coming down the corridor but I wasn't sure if it was you
But I started talking, talking like I knew
I turned around and there you were dusting off your jeans
A sorry sight, but a sight for sore eyes just the same, just the same

VERSE 2
I said I can't believe you're still wearing those boots that you had back when
I was eighteen and you were nineteen - going on ten
You chased me all around that sleepy town like it was your jungle gym
But don't you dare shake that balance beam on me again
Cause I'm still balancing

CHORUS
Hold me close, don't ever let me go
Cause I've always known if I couldn't be with you I would be alone
Hold me close, don't ever let me go
Cause I've always known you'd find a way to make it home

VERSE 3
I can still hear you laughing at me from your pickup truck
When I drove my Mercury onto the beach and I got stuck
You pulled me out of that mess alright just like Mike Mulligan
And you promised me right there and then you'd pull me out again
