Lyrics
Chorus:
The sadness passed, you have grown older
No more the solitary lover
An island in your youth, now it's time to see the truth
And finally know that you can move another
Her world revolves around you boy, an involuntary lover
And though you try to run for cover she's everywhere you try to hide
So you think of how to let her down, to convince her now to free you
Still she's coming 'round to see you in spite of everything you've tried
(chorus)
All your life a satellite flying to those who'd never notice
And now finally you're noticed, and you've discovered point of view
So now you're not the parasite, and you find yourself rehearsing
The rejections you were cursing when the one to lose was you
(chorus)
You could take the path of least resistance
It's not love but a good existance
Comfortable but nothing to explore
But still inside your mind, you think there's someone you can find
So you turn away to even out the score
You never thought you'd find yourself on the other side of feeling
And now your sheltered past is reeling as you know you're not alone
Though you know the pain you'll bring on her you still say it's for the better
But you never will regret her 'cause your heart has finally grown
(chorus)
When you break a heart at last, the sadness passed
