It was pretty bright, up on the rainbow bridge tonight
I could see into your window although you're far away
You were racing in a car beside a boy you just don't know
If he is up for what you have in mind
If he is up for what you have in mind

Change is on the cards, but this time it will be hard
I never want to leave you, we've never had a fight
You should never split a pole, you should never split at all
I wish I had two paths I could follow
I'd write the ending without any sorrow

I will say a prayer just while you are sitting there
And I will wrap my hands around you 'cause I know it will be fine
We've got a fantasy affair, we didn't get wet, we didn't dare
Our aspirations wrapped up in books
Our inclinations are hidden in looks

Summer's hastening on, I'm trying to get a feeling from the city
But I've been unfaithful, I've been traveling abroad
We've got a fantasy affair, we didn't get wet, we didn't dare
But the fantasy remains, you better come back to earth again
Our aspirations wrapped up in books
Our inclinations hidden in looks
