syndrome in stockholm

For what it takes
Long past where the roads run out
Lies the place where
Making sense of my mistakes
Has taken the award as of late

I would make you out
From the largest crowds
Your smile I spot a mile away
Feeling this loneliness
Is meaningless
I keep you close to me

You took a hold of me
I’m beginning to take a liking
To this situation
Don’t worry about reparation
Don’t worry about hurting me
I’ve been down this road before
And I can see

I don’t know what I can give you
It’d be easier to comprehend
If I were giving you the world
If it could fit in the palm of my hand
I hope you understand

Looks like we’ve got ourselves
Another syndrome in Stockholm
Where I am holding you home
Where all our secrets are known
And tomorrow we will roam
For the world’s too big to walk alone

Looks like we’ve got ourselves
Another syndrome in Stockholm
Where I am holding you home
Where all our secrets are known
Find some comfort in the unknown
For this life’s a little too long to love alone

Love is beginning to build
Past the shadows strung
Beyond the moon
You have my hands tied
Behind my back
One track mind
Sooner or later
Long past tomorrow

Held for hostage
Head over heels
You’ll have to remind me
To return the ransom
Is it love
Or is it lust
If this were tomorrow
Would you be someone else
For what it’s worth
We’ll always have always

For all I remember
This will last forever
For all I remember
This is neverending
