I don't know When thousands of people come and go And all the ones that we lose, we love till death or goodbye All will die, but God, it's worth a go Hold me in your arms like it's forever Let's forget the past but never ever Say it was a waste, for the taste of love, I'll have the pain If I gain nothing, still you were always worth the go You know, I love you so Do you still remember we sat at tables And talked the evening over And drank and mourned and walked Your plans for dinner that week, my fear of falling asleep I went home, whoa Bridges where we stood and decided where we would go Pictures in the neighbourhood lights and cars going slow Trading the night for the day, the passing ships in the bay Where I roam, whoa Why did I choose you, I don't know When old doors are closing, new ones open Love is a ride, in time we all must alight Hold on tight, you know it's worth a go Hold me in your arms like it's forever Let's forget the past but never ever Say it was a waste, for the taste of love, I'll have the pain If I gain nothing, still you were always worth it So raise the sail, we answer to no nation Freedom means we need no destination So say, "We do it scared," 'cause we dared to brave the deep unknown Though I know nothing Still you are always worth the go You know I love you so When the signal starts to fade, I'm afraid to start a war Am I sending Morse to someone who's reading semaphore? Still we try to hear each other, each rhyme and metaphor Restring the lines each time, let's try once more (One, two, three) Hold me in your arms like it's forever Let's forget the past but never ever Say it was a waste, for the taste of love, I'll have the pain If I gain nothing, still you are always worth it So raise the sail, we answer to no nation Freedom means we need no destination So say, "We do it scared," 'cause we dared To brave the deep unknown Though I know nothing Still you are always worth the go You know I love you so
