[Intro]



[Verse 1]
          
Turn my gaze a


way
              
Relieve the im


pressions
          
That I've made
              
Like rain in m

  
y creeping han

d
        
I want to beha


ve
              
It's a small c

  
oncession
         
All my regress

ions
        
I don't unders

tand


[Pre-Chorus 1]
             
But they're pa

          
inful old news
             
And pale in co

 
mparison
           
To choosing yo

u


[Chorus]
             
Well, I don't

[Verse 2]
          
It's dangerous

     
 and short
         
Covertly calls

 for
   
An encore
              
The attention 

   
of strangers
              
As long as lov

    
ing lasts
          
You don't want

 to
     
Here forever
              
Everybody love

    
s a lover
