Say No

(álbum: Instincts - 1984)

You come to me with a photograph
"How long ago?" is the question, you ask
You've never known how to
Watch what you say
You ask for everything
A fire in the streets
The people we meet
As far from now
The dust and the heat
Is there something missing, now in our eyes?
Maybe it's just missing tonight

Say it ain't so, say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Were we ten years younger, five years ago?
Say no, say no, say no
Tell me one more time, one more, one less
Say no, say no, say no
When I'm like this

I'm sick of this heat and
I'm sick of the flack
And I'm sick that nothing can ever be planned
'Cause I miss my life like I miss your eyes
I'm right by your side
A fire in the night
Burning so bright
It happened so fast
At the speed of light
We looked, we leaped
We weren't waiting to see
What wishes would last when light
Would leave

Say it ain't so, say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Were we ten years younger, five years ago?
Say no, say no, say no
Tell me one more time, one more, one less
Say no, say no, say no
When I'm like this
