[Verse] What a simple question I don’t say It’s easier to look — then look away Wishing for a way to show you my mind It’s you; then you; then you all the time [Pre-Chorus] I go back and forth with myself Rack my brain — need a little help [Chorus] Torn apart as the earth sways Play my part ‘til it’s too late Right time and place — never appear I love you big, but never near [Verse 2] My honest mind feels out of place Has no taste for an empty chase You give a glance; it breaks my mind Please don’t leave me left behind [Bridge] Work up the nerve — now’s the time I plead my case. My well runs dry It’s a fragile hope And I have no idea what to say [Chorus] Torn apart as the earth sways Place my heart right in your way Time and place — never do appear I love you big, and I’m right here
