When I was younger
I kept the world on a string
And held it steady, ready for what life would bring
Until you said hello
Before I loved you
I didn't know what it was
But I could see the you and me we could become
No one could tell us no
My father said, "Son, someday you'll know"
You're only in love
You won't get away, You won't get away with enough
You're only in love
You won't get away, you won't get away with its touch
When you first called me
I heard the fear in your words
But I was ready, ready for better or worse
So much we didn't know
I grew up wondering If love would ever appear
Then you stole me
Finally my darling was here
No one could see what we'd been shown
My mother said, "Dear, someday you'll know"
You're only in love
You won't get away, You won't get away with enough
You're only in love
We won't get away, we won't get away
Now that I'm older
I see my father was right
My mother warned me
But I was blinded by light
Lights grow dim and set the stage for two
I guess love never let go like they said so
And we're still holding on to each other
Only in love
We won't get away, we won't get away with enough
We're only in love
We won't get away, we won't get away
