Nothing's For Keeps

Was it the world that you gave to me

Was it love, or a lesson for me

When the table’s turning

And the fire’s still burning

Would you come out

From underneath

What was the last thing you said to me

Nothing’s for keeps

Just figured out

What that meant to me

When the table's turning

And the fire keeps burning inside

Would you lay me down

And look in my eyes

And even though the writing’s on the wall

We could rise until we fall

Never mind the ties we’ll cut them all

Even though we stand to gain nothing at all

And even though the writings on the wall

We could rise until we fall

Never mind the ties we’ll cut them all

Even though we stand to gain nothing at all

Was it the way that you savoured me

Every last piece

We found our souls

Safely under the sheets

When the table’s turning

‘Cos my heart keeps yearning for you

Is it too late

Should we admit defeat

And nothing’s for keeps

No, no nothing’s for keeps

Nothing at all

We could rise

We could rise

‘Til we fall
