[Verse 1]
Passionate nights in the fury of the battle
Tender moments that everyone is jealous of
We're standing at a crossroads and don't know where to go
Oh, wouldn't it be better to be blind to the world around us

[Chorus]
Because I want your shoulder to cry on
Your home to take shelter in
But everything I want seems so far away
So far away from me
But everything I want seems so far away

[Verse 2]
A waste of time but little did we know
We were just eighteen and hadn't seen much yet
We did everything together, it was never really enough
Yeah, in all our dreams the key was on the lock

[Chorus]
Because I want your shoulder to cry on
Your home to take shelter in
But everything I want seems so far away
So far away from me
But everything I want seems so far away

[Verse 3]
Now, so many years later and so much more has happened
We still feel the same, but many have disapproved
Oh, just let them talk, just let them go ahead
We now act on how we feel and still often think back to then

[Chorus]
Because I want your shoulder to cry on
Your home to take shelter in
But everything I want seems so far away
Everything I want seems so far away
So far away from me
But everything I want seems so far away
