lyrics

I am the lover of Echo
and it's so hard for me to let go
of all I see, of all I see
my door was open and in you came
I couldn't see the picture past the frame
oh that tapestry you weave

you may not be my twin flame
but you set my heart ablaze
and the moments I remember
are the ones that last forever

oh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you want me to be
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn away

another love born of vanity
how you whisper sweet profanity
like a birds' morning symphony
no note out of place
it's good to see the dream again
but I'm wide awake now and it has to end
we both have a habit of transience without a trace

you may not be my soul mate
you may not make me whole
but you're an exceptional reflection
and I love you even though

oh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you want me to be
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn awayoh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you think you need
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn away

you got a lot of love to give
you wouldn't want to waste it on a hopeless case like us
you got a lot of life to live
you wouldn't want to settle for less
just trust me

oh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you want me to be
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn awayoh baby, baby, when will you see
I will never be what you think you need
baby, baby, maybe you're like me
and for all eternity
we would tempt and turn away
