lyrics

I know that you don't love me. I know I'm just your friend. I wish I could take all the feelings I have and throw them in the St. Lawrence. Let it all wash away, like the government did with all that sewage. You remember that?

I built myself into a statue, built you a castle with my charms but I never wanted an empire - just you, resting in my arms. I wanna wake you up with oatmeal, take your dog out for long walks. I want to make you laugh, I want to sing for you, I want to kiss you in the dark.

Christine... please. Christine, I'm sorry, please. Christine, don't go, Christine, don't go, I couldn't love someone else if I tried and I tried. I tried, you know I tried.

I'm growing older now. The boy you knew at the front of the stage is now the face and all the rage but fame means NOTHING to me if you don't say you're proud. I know it's just another illusion, just more faces in a crowd. But you stand out, you always have - you're a star! You shine so bright. Together, our love forms a constellation, we light up the night sky. If it takes two days or takes ten years I'll wait for you to come. Without you I'll keep living but I'm never having fun.

We live, we die, we kiss, we cry, we laugh, we scream, we work, we're free. We live, we die, we kiss, we cry, we laugh, we scream, we work, we're free. We live, we die, we kiss, we cry, we laugh, we scream we work, we're free. We're free. We're free.
