Chinese herb
Italian soul
Half as wise
The other half is bold
Mixed you up and broke the mould
All of the best was in you

You grew up fast
And furious
The bands the clubs
The nights delirious
Another kind of experience
Far and beyond what I knew

All the same
Here I am
Back in your life again
It's OK
Trouble is
I've my own to defend
You are not the only one
Who's learned a trick or two
I know the dance
Don't fall in love
Yet I'm willing to pretend
I'm willing to pretend

The after shock
The afterburn
Through the loss
There's something I would learn
Freedom once
Freedom earned
High is the price of my youth

All the same
Here I am
Back in your life again
It's OK
Trouble is
I've my own to defend
You are not the only one
Who's learned a trick or two
I know the dance
Don't fall in love
Yet I'm willing to pretend

Just let me know where and when
Everything here is cool
The plans in our works
Have shifted a gear
The kingdom is ours to rule

All the same
Here I am
Back in your life again
It's OK
Trouble is
I've my own to defend
You are not the only one
Who's learned a trick or two
I know the dance
Don't fall in love
But I'm willing to pretend
I'm willing to pretend
