i see her in that dress right before i knew her name she's slowly walking to me right before our lives would change maybe i've gone crazy, maybe i'm still in love each night i change what happened, i change how it was i change how it was, i change (chorus) when the lights go out i can hear the sound of your heartbeat slow and the memories glow when the lights go out that summer is my life line it's the only thing that's real i'm frozen in this subway, just a cog in the wheel life is for the living and love is for the strong i don't know how i got here, but i know where he belongs i know where he belongs, i know (chorus) (bridge) in the middle of this circus your the thing that gets me through so i dive between the surface and close my eyes and see you (chorus)
