It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said, sure, my heart is boundless
But don't push my limits too far
I said if love was so transcendent
I don't understand these boundaries
She said, just don't disappoint me
You know how complex women are
I'll be around
If you don't let me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't let me down

It was just before sunrise
When we started on traditional roles
She said, sure, I'll be your partner
But don't make too many demands
I said, if love has these conditions
I don't understand those songs you love
She said, this is not a love song
This isn't fantasy land

A phosphorescent wave on a tropical
Sea is a cold fire
The pattern of moonlight on the
Bedroom floor is a cold fire
The flame at the heart of a
Pawnbroker's diamond is a cold fire
The look in your eyes as you head for
The door is a cold fire

I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't push me down

I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't push me down

A phosphorescent wave on a tropical
Sea is a cold fire
The pattern of moonlight on the
Bedroom floor is a cold fire
The flame at the heart of a
Pawnbroker's diamond is a cold fire
The look in your eyes as you head for
The door is a cold fire

I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around

I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around

I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around

I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around
