I promise that I'll hold you when it's cold out When we loose our winter coats in the spring 'Cause lately I was thinking I never told you That every time I see you my heart sings 'Cause we lived at the carnival in summer We scared ourselves to death on a ghost train And just like every Ferris wheel stops turning Oh I guess we had an expiration date So I won't say I love you, it's too late (And oh) 'Cause every time I saw you I got nervous Shivering and shaking at the knees And just like every song I haven't heard yet no I didn't know the words in front of me In front of me, and oh But I don't wanna know Who'll take you home? Who'll take you home? Who'll take you home, home? If I let you go (And oh) Now that you're on someone else's shoulders The winter winds are colder on my own Maybe we will meet when we get older Maybe we won't So I won't say I love you if you don't And no you don't (oh oh) So I won't say I love you if you don't
