Love unexpected, love unrequited
Feels like trouble and you try to fight it
But like the hurricane winds, like the timeless tide
You can't run and you can't hide

When the head and heart cannot be reconciled
When a grown-up love calls out to you and stirs your inner child
The heart knows there's a price that must be paid
The head knows that decisions must be made

Have you tried everything you can?
Said all that can be said between a woman and a man
Or just thrown gasoline on a blazing fire
And built a fence made out of dreams and razor wire

It's a runaway train, it's a wrecking ball
It's a burning house and it's bound to fall
It's a mandolin rain and a hungry heart
Where does the longing end and the true love start?

Hope springs eternal for the likes of you and me
From a thousand miles away, there's a candle I can see
And like the hurricane wind and the timeless tide
We can't run and we can't hide
