Everything But the Girl - Fascination Lyrics

I won't try to stop you when you speak-a of the past
Doubt is over now and I can join in when you laugh
But fascination makes us ask for more than we'd like to know
But I needn't explain, I bet you know

Reassure me when my heart's not bold enough to bear her name
If you were in my shoes and scared I would do the same
And though I may ask, there's no need for past details
For though I may laugh alone my courage fails, did you know?

See how I've changed, now my head's so clear
Still there are some things that I don't want to hear
There must be so much I know that you cannot forget
And I mustn't wish your life began the day we met

Places we go remind you of when you were here before
So you talk and tell me you don't think about it anymore
But there is something I know that hasn't quite been left behind
So I'll ask you once again to prove that I don't mind
To prove that I don't mind
