Still remember seeing you standing there, alone in a crowded room
Suddenly your presence filled the air, nothing that I could do Always knew you were the only one, I never told you so Thought you’d understand what I had done when I had to let you go.
Thought that we could prove ourselves
Show that we were strong
Should have written every day
Now I know that I was wrong.
If there was any other way
Don’t you think I would have found it by now?
Found a way around it somehow
If there was any other way.
Left you on a rainy summer’s day, I thought you understood
You turned and never looked around again, I knew you never would
We were only children then living on borrowed time
Stars were shining in your eyes, tears were filling up in mine
If there was any other way
Don’t you think I would have found it by now?
Found a way round it somehow
If there was any other way.
And if the world should end today
I’d take my last breath whispering your name
Wondering if you’d ever felt the same
If there was any other way.
Still remember seeing you standing there, alone in a crowded room
Suddenly your presence filled the air, nothing that I could do.
The tiny desk "stripped down" version is really moving. I understand loving your own arrangements, but I think the feeling of the song hits deeper without it.
