[Verse 1]
Between the look and the look away
I saw paragraph on paragraph of wanting
Written in the space around your eyes
And the corners of your smile
[Verse 2]
Between the look and the look away
I heard louder than the bells of a cathedral
Everything you wish that you could ask
If we only were alone
If we only could be sure that your wife would never know
[Chorus]
But that's one more thing than I can handle
One more cross than I can bear
God, you're beautiful
God, it would be easy to say yes
But that's one more thing than I can handle
It's one more way I mustn't care
Take me like a photograph
Put me in a drawer beside your fantasies
And leave me there
Leave me there
[Verse 3]
Between the look and the look returned
I made hundreds of frenetic calculations
Measuring the distance to my dream
The light inside the bar
The force beneath your arms
What I'd say if we got caught
Between the look and the look away
I saw paragraph on paragraph of wanting
Written in the space around your eyes
And the corners of your smile
[Verse 2]
Between the look and the look away
I heard louder than the bells of a cathedral
Everything you wish that you could ask
If we only were alone
If we only could be sure that your wife would never know
[Chorus]
But that's one more thing than I can handle
One more cross than I can bear
God, you're beautiful
God, it would be easy to say yes
But that's one more thing than I can handle
It's one more way I mustn't care
Take me like a photograph
Put me in a drawer beside your fantasies
And leave me there
Leave me there
[Verse 3]
Between the look and the look returned
I made hundreds of frenetic calculations
Measuring the distance to my dream
The light inside the bar
The force beneath your arms
What I'd say if we got caught
