Whirling and swirling
Through life's outer circles
We're moving along
Yearning and burning for love and affection
Pretending we're strong

And the only thing that we all need
Is wrapped up inside
Why is it always that love is the one thing we hide?

Dreaming and breathing
Alone in the darkness
Awaiting the light
Concealing the feelings of helpless surroundings
Alone in the night

When the only thing that we all need
Is wrapped up inside
Why is it always that love is the one thing we hide?

And it's all along we go
Though it's all along we know
There are strangers all around
Afraid to make a friend
Afraid that it will end
In pieces on the ground
Though we're lonely
We're so lonely
All of a sudden
The one you've awaited
Is calling your name
And the hours spent wondering and waiting for someone
Just won't be the same

And the only thing that you both need
Is wrapped up inside
Why is it always that love is the one thing we hide?
Why is it always that love is the one thing we hide?
