We’re tottering on the EDGE OF A CLIFF,
We promised we’d NEVER GIVE IN, but it’s became the SAME OLD THING,
Our loves extinct weev went THE WAY OF THE DODO
We’re like TWO NATIONS divided, in a WAR OF THE SEXES,
So I have to escape get out like the ESCAPIST.
Let’s part ways, but TRUST ME, WE CAN NEVER BE FRIENDS.
Let me DRY YOUR EYES babe, promise me you’ll STAY POSITIVE.
[Chorus]
Close the book Close the book
It’s the end of a chapter for me
Close the book close the book
We’re done, roam the streets youre free
Close the book Close the book
Turn the page there’s nothing left to read
Close the book close the book
It’s too late, I’m walking away
10 years of ups and downs, but what goes up must come down.
Close the book, Close the book
10 years of ups and downs, but what goes up must come down.
Even as we part, you know you’ll never leave my heart.
The singing rain may come, but it can’t wash away all you have done.
Close the book Close the book
It’s the end of a chapter for you and me
Close the book close the book
We’re done, roam the streets you are free
Now as you walk the streets, I wonder what is next for you and me.
10 years of ups and downs, but what goes up must come down.
Close the book close the book/Even as we part, you know you’ll never leave my heart.
Close the book close the book/The singing rain may come, but it can’t wash away all you have done.
Close the book close the book/Now as you walk the streets, I wonder what is next for you and me.
