I had a dream I could live forever

But when I woke you weren't there

Between us there runs a tether

Getting older isn't fair

I wonder where you are tonight (on your own, off on your own)

Or are you dancing with another lover? (on my own, I'm on my own)

Remember lust by candlelight (your bedroom, in your bedroom)

I get a pang in my chest every time (come back, won't you come back?)

I had a dream I could live forever

But when I woke you weren't there

Between us there runs a tether

Getting older isn't fair

No easy path to reconcile (too late, now it's too late)

The only thing we can do now is remember (how it was, how good it was)

My finger tracing all your lines (your bedroom, in your bedroom)

Your silhouette's burning in my mind (come back, won't you come back?)

Still worried that the time's running out on us

I'd spend a hundred lives just to get my chance to be together with you

I feel you pulling hard from the other side of the line

I'm tethered to you, I'm waiting for you

Ooh, I had a dream I could live forever

But when I woke you weren't there

Between us there runs a tether

Getting older isn't fair
