You’re an inspiration, baby
I could never change you
Even if I could I wouldn’t dare
Chronic complication
I will never let them break you
I still hear your footsteps
Every day and everywhere

    REFRAIN:
    I’ve been known to run, baby
    I’ve been known to hide
    But never had a one
    That ain’t been satisfied

    Now that it’s begun
    Maybe there will come a time
    That you and I will fetch the setting sun

Stop and count your blessings
Baby’s got a bitter feeling
Consequence of mental overload
Heaven hold me back
Return attack increasingly appealing
Driving up the highway
On the wrong side of the road

    REFRAIN

It’s easy not to see what is
Right before your eyes crystallize
Not a day goes by
Without you on my mind
We’re designed to assume
We’re two of a kind
Kindred hearts predefined

You’re an inspiration, baby
Don’t you ever doubt it
Cant’ you see the things
You’ve done to me
Perfect imitation
Too distraught to care about it
Nothing can be done
So it’s best to let it be

    REFRAIN
