too far, too fast - Magne Furuholmen

Nights I lie awake,

Your voice inside me.

Strange how much it aches.

Strange how long it takes.

We played a different game.

We were younger.

And something we could feel

Was something that was real.

Too far too fast,

And too good to last.

Too good to last for long… for long.

So take a day off

From your life

And spend it here with me.

Drop your guard

Just one more time,

And then I’ll set you free.

Take a look inside yourself

And tell me what you see;

By now I thought you’d realized

I’m perfect company.

Too far too fast

And too good to last,

Too good to last for long… for long.

Like the days rush to greet you.

Like the stars fall to meet you.

Like the sunshine that heats you.

Like the rain when it beats you

And cheats you,

Again and again.

Too far too fast,

And too good to last.

Too good to last… too good to last for long.

Too high too soon

And too much to swallow.

Too tough an act to follow… to follow… follow.
