It's the same old story

When someone astounds you

The harder they come 

Yes the harder they fall

Takin' it easy

No matter what people say

And time will heal all your troubles away



(chorus)

I've got a notion 

I might as well be closer to your heart

It's out in the open

I might as well be closer to your heart



Tossing and turning 

And burning dreams across the night

(forever searching)

Silently waiting for such a long time

But will I know tomorrow

If you will be mine?



(repeat chorus)



So it's the same old story

When someone astounds you

That the harder they come 

Yes the harder they fall

Like takin' it easy

No matter what people say

And time will heal all your troubles away



(repeat chorus)



(repeat chorus)
