Love ridden, I’ve looked at you

With the focus I gave to my birthday candles

I’ve wished on the lidded blue flames

Under your brow

And baby, I wished for you

Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed

And I wanna crawl in with you

But I cry instead

I want your warm, but it will only make

Me colder when it's over

So I can’t tonight, baby

No, not ‘baby’ anymore - if I need you

I’ll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave

My hand won’t hold you down no more

The path is clear to follow through

I stood too long in the way of the door

And now I’m giving up on you

No, not ‘baby’ anymore - if I need you

I’ll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave

No, not ‘baby’ anymore - if I need you

I’ll just use your simple name

Only kisses on the cheek from now on

And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave
