There was a time when I thought that for every ounce of my devotion
A heart out there somewhere would echo with love
But as I watch the years just roll by it seems a fanciful notion
And now I no longer know what I'm sure of
I'm runnin' to her, she's runnin' to him
Oh, why can't we see the mess that we're in
And on the evenings you came crying, do your remember what you were saying?
That it was over and time to move on
Well, I know the tears were real but it was a game that you were playing
And I'm getting tired of being your pawn
I'm runnin' to her, she's runnin' to him
Oh, why can't we see the mess that we're in
Love is the answer say all the wise men
Fear not to give your heart away
Keeping track — I don't believe it but I'm holding on
Sooner or later she's coming my way
Love is the answer say all the wise men
Fear not to give your heart away
I know what you're thinking but I won't hold on
Sooner or later she's coming my way
So when that morning sun comes rising I'm running down into the ocean
Feel those cleansing waters wash over me
And I'll watch those waves go rolling by in perpetual motion
While the rivers sing me in sweet harmony
The wires get crossed, but love's never lost
Someday we'll see the mess that we're in
