The water's deep and rising fast
A sea of emotions flows through my mind
The waves come rolling from your eyes
There is no way out, no compromise

I feel so sick, confusion sets in
It's like it was way back when
At first glance the chills roll down
How come I'm like a clown

When love sets in...
When love sets in...

Help me break the silence, please
Should I speak or wait my turn
this one hard lesson is mine to learn
The lesson of love, but who's to know

Your soft whisper and spoken word
A trust that never leaves me bored
That one special friend in your heart
One to know that you really care

When love sets in...
When love sets in...

I never knew what hit me so damned hard
But it made me stop and realize
For so long I stumbled I took you for granted
I'm so glad you opened my eyes

When love sets in...
When love sets
