We are so terribly unpredictable and wonderful.
Just turn around and I'll be gone. 
Chorus

Chorus
How easily we fall in love.  
You walk to me, you talk to me. 
And suddenly you're far away. 
I'm loosing you, I'm loosing you. 
Then silently you answer me: 
"You're fading out, I'm loosing you". 
Oh talk to me. I'm holding on.
