two hands on my thighs
two more covering your eyes
why don't you open your mouth
and say what you've been thinking?
why don't you?

i know you think you'll end up losing me
it's just a matter of eventually
so maybe that's the way it goes
or maybe not, but even so
you won't know until you try
if you've got wings, then why not fly?
the chance is ours to take and maybe it ends in heartbreak
or

two lips on my tears
two more covering your ears
why don't you open your eyes
and see what you've been missing?
why don't you?

you think that you don't need anyone
you think you know just how it's done
well, maybe you will never know
or maybe not, but even so

two miles in my shoes
two more till you've got to choose
why don't you pick up the pace?
you'll find me right beside you
why don't you?

don't quit the race when it has just begun
don't think you'll lose just cause you've never won
well, maybe some day you will win
or maybe not, but even then
you won't know until you try
if you've got wings then why not fly?
the chance is ours to take and maybe it ends in heartbreak
or maybe not

two hands on my thighs
two more covering your eyes

two lips on my tears
two more covering your ears

two miles in my shoes
two more till you've got to choose
why don't you?
