[Eurydice]

I was alone so long

I didn't even know that I was lonely

Out in the cold so long

I didn’t even know that I was cold

Turned my collar to the wind

This is how it's always been

All I've ever known is how to hold my own

All I’ve ever known is how to hold my own

But now I wanna hold you, too

You take me in your arms

And suddenly there's sunlight all around me

Everything bright and warm

And shining like it never did before

And for a moment I forget

Just how dark and cold it gets

All I've ever known is how to hold my own

All I've ever known is how to hold my own

But now I wanna hold you

Now I wanna hold you, hold you close

I don't wanna ever have to let you go

Now I wanna hold you, hold you tight

I don't wanna go back to the lonely life

[Orpheus]

I don't know how or why

Or who am I that I should get to hold you

But when I saw you all alone against the sky

It's like I’d known you all along

I knew you before we met

And I don’t even know you yet

All I know is you're someone I have always known

[Orpheus and Eurydice]

All I know is you’re someone I have always known

And I don't even know you

Now I wanna hold you, hold you close

I don't wanna ever have to let you go

[Eurydice]

Suddenly the sunlight

Bright and warm

[Orpheus]

Suddenly I'm holding the world in my arms

[Eurydice]

Say that you’ll hold me forever

Say that the wind won't change on us

Say that we'll stay with each other

And it will always be like this

[Orpheus]

I'm gonna hold you forever

The wind will never change on us

Long as we stay with each other

[Orpheus and Eurydice]

Then it will always be like this
