If they ask me where I stand,
I'll tell them you're a kind man.
You'd ask me how my day was,
And then you'd really listen.
You'd ask about my plans,
You wanted to know my plans.
And if you don't fit in them,
At least you still would listen.
OoOoOo I'm moving forward,
0o0o0o I'm looking back-
You took me by the strings of my heart
And I was not prepared for that.
OoOoOo you're moving closer,
O0O0O0 oh, heart attack.
I am young and I am scared,
And I know there's no turning back, no.
And if they ask me where I stand,
You know that I would answer:
You used to buy me flowers,
Even when you knew me better.
You'd ask about my plans,
Always wanted to know my plans.
And when you don't fit in them,
No, you didn't try to fit them.
OoOoOo I'm moving forward,
0o0o0o I'm looking back-
You took me by the strings of my heart,
Make me your marionette.
OoOoOo you're moving closer,
O0O0O0 oh, heart attack.
I am young and I am scared,
And I know there's no turning back, no.
If they ask me where I stand,
I'll say I felt your heartbeat.
You swam across that old pond,
To go and study new things.
If they ask about my plans,
I'll say I had all kinds then,
Because you were on my mind then,
But I don't like to pretend.
OoOoOo I'm moving forward,
0o0o0o I'm looking back-
You took me by the strings of my heart
And I was not prepared for that.
OoOoOo you're moving closer,
O0O0O0 oh, heart attack.
I am young and I am scared
And I know there's no turning back, no.
