Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding
It's magic
And you, and your sweet desire
You took me, oh, woah, higher and higher, baby
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
We're making believe, this is what you've conceived
From your worst day, I'm takin' a dive
Oh, moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day, I'm taken, I'm taken
And you and your sweet desire
You took me, oh, woah, higher and higher, baby
It's a living thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream, I'm takin' a dive
Oh, so let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream, I'm taken, I'm taken
And you and your sweet desire
You took me, oh, woah, higher and higher, baby
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a terrible thing to lose
What a terrible thing to lose
