When we met that first night
I thought this guy’s just right
We got on like a house on fire

Then we went for a walk
We talked and talked and talked
He looked into my eyes like he saw my soul
And I fell in love and I felt so whole

Oh Holding on and letting go
Running away and wanting more
I don’t know why I gave him so much power

Then he went up his tower
I watched it get higher and higher
I stood in the desert for days feeling like a ghost
But when he came he said he could not quench my thirst

And he never told me the reason
His lips fell so silent and cold

Soon enough he was gone
And I was left forlorn
Though I never thought this love would last more than one season

But I guess he got scared
Or he just would not dare
To let the light shine on the seed that he had sown
So he will never feel the flame that would have grown

Oh Holding on and letting go
Running away and wanting more
I don’t know why I gave him so much power
