[Verse 1]
A lonely street lamp
I'm out on the street walking home
A small pale blur
Leaving trails like a snail I move so slow
Time can bruise violent indigo
Rush home to your arms
You soothe my weary soul

[Chorus]
Wrong or right, be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned, we'll make a stand
Love can bind, but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away
Walk away

[Verse 2]
The clubs are full
Of couples resisting being one
They wear their youth
Like badges that tarnish all too soon
But we'll be a team
Our two will be one
Love will be our fortress
When all else comes undone

[Chorus]
Wrong or right, be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned, we'll make a stand
Love can bind, but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away
Walk away

[Bridge]
Sometimes the world don't make sense
Small children filled with violence
Let our light
Shine through the night

[Chorus]
Wrong or right, be mine tonight
Harsh world be damned, we'll make a stand
Love can bind, but mine is blind
Others stray, but I won't walk away
Walk away

[Outro until Fade]
I won't walk away
