Lyrics:

Tricky is the window
That opens but will not close
When you leave me where do you go?
Will you stay?
I am your accomplice
Robbery in progress
Partner and your arm rest
Will you stay?

Problem child
Take me to my knees
I love you more than you would ever believe
Problem child
It could be so sweet
If you ever fly away I will climb up every tree

What are you running from?
I won’t hold you back with my love
What are you running from?
The future is a loaded gun
If there is no such thing as time
Rest your open hands in mine
If there is so much running to do
Take a piece of me with you

Problem child
Take me to my knees
I love you more than you would ever believe
Problem child
It could be so sweet
If you ever fly away I will climb up every tree

Would you ever believe it was me?
Would you ever believe it was me?
Would you ever believe it was me?
