WRITTEN BY: OWEN TEMPLE
We looked for the perfect moment each and every night
Waiting for the timing to be just right
To say what we were feeling between us two
Both afraid of not hearing “I love you too”
Being in between loving is worse than no love at all
You can’t keep walking along the edge of that wall
Got to jump one way together with all your heart
But we tried to keep walking ’til we fell apart
We were so close but so far away
‘Cause our true hearts speak words that we don’t say
A sure way of not getting what you’re dreaming of
No daring is fatal in life and love
We’ve got one shot at life with no guarantees
We try to build a bridge to what we want to be
Dare to dream and dare to love
Dare to begin what you’re thinking of
And our doubts are traitors and they make us lose
What we might win but for the fear to choose
All we can do is give it our best
And try to live life with no regrets
And we’re so close but so far away
Because our true hearts speak words that we don’t say
A sure way of not getting what you’re dreaming of
No daring is fatal in life and love
Living is risky
A few things are certain
If we don’t step out on the stage
We might as well not raise the curtain
And we’re so close but so far away
Cause our true hearts speak words that we don’t say
A sure way of not getting what you’re dreaming of
No daring is fatal in life and love
