Lyrics

We Go Down Slowly Rising

Is there something more that I can say
To change your mind?
Suffering in solitude
Get nearer all the time

If I could only make it work
If only I could say
If I could only find a way
To tell you why

I'm so true
Blind for you
Day and night, a change of season
Dark and bright, a thousand reasons
Give and take and never break
The promises we make whenever

Everything's possible
I think we should try
I wish I were with you tonight
With you tonight
With you tonight
With you tonight

You are my everything
You are my everything
You are my everything
You are my everything

You are my everything
I can't do anything
You are the sun and sky
My everything (my peace of mind)

You are my everything
I can't do anything
You are the sun and sky
You are my everything (my peace of mind)
You are my everything
I can't do anything...
