Verse 1

I want to be your lover but your friend is all I've stayed

 I'm only halfway to paradise so near yet so far away

Verse 2

I long for your lips to kiss my lips but just when I think they may

 You lead me halfway to paradise so near yet so far away

Bridge

 Bein' close to you is almost heaven but seein' you can do just so much

 It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure and that my heart is forbidden to touch

Verse 3

 So put your sweet lips close to my lips and tell me that's where they're gonna stay

 Don't lead me halfway to paradise so near yet so far away
