lyrics

You are the match and I am the book
You are the catch and I am the hook
You are the knot you are the rope
You are the wish and I am the hope

And all I want is you and all the things we do
You make me laugh you make me cry
You drive me crazy I don’t know why

You are the key and I am the lock
You are the time and I am the clock
You are the salt and I can be sweet
You are the drums and I am the beat

And all I want is you and all the things we do
You make me laugh you make me cry
You drive me crazy I don’t know why

Don’t ever let me go, don’t ever let me go
Don’t ever let me go, don’t ever let me go

And all I want is you… you’re all I want… all I want is you

You’ve got the spark and I’ve got the fire
You are the juice and I am the wire
I am the flower you are the tree
You are the waves and I am the sea

And all I want is you and all the things we do
You make me laugh you make me cry
You drive me crazy I don’t know why

Don’t ever let me go, don’t ever let me go
Don’t ever let me go, don’t ever let me go

Hard to pick a fave from this record but gun to my head I'd have to say In the Stars for the Brian Wilson vibe and most excellent vocals. chrometop
