Lyrics
All this time second-guessing the one that sleeps by your side
All those nights not confessing the secret that lays in your mind
But you say I'm still with you;
I'm still with you, but you don't know why
Seven years is the last thought before you turn out the lights
Seven years are very close to me tonight
Seven years, oh oh
All this time second-guessing the one that sleeps by your side
All those nights not confessing the secret that lays in your mind
Well, you say my embrace is too dangerous for your life
Seven years is the last thought before you turn out the lights
Seven years are very close to me tonight
It's true you're still with me;
You're still with me but I don't know why
And I know it too ambitious;
It's too ambitious to even try
Seven years is the last thought before you turn out the lights
Seven years are very close to me tonight
Seven years, oh oh
