Call me anticipation
Call me out of line
But I got a hotel reservation
In the name of Valentine

In the place where we'd vacation
And we walked across the beach
I felt your breath against my neck
As the waves caressed our feet

Heaven knows
If you promise not to go
I will pay you back in kind
I don't want to be alone
I'm alive, so alive

Call me animation
Call me asinine
But I'm in desperate situation
With a mask to hide behind

The effect on our relations
And all that we believe
Feels like a slap across the face
Now there's a hand print on your cheek
Heaven knows
If you promise not to go
I will pay you back in kind
I don't want to be alone
I'm alive, so alive

[Chorus]
If you promise not to go
I will pay you back in kind
I don't want to be alone
I'm alive, so alive
Let me pay you back in kind
Let me pay you back in kind
Let me pay you back in kind
Let me pay you back

Is it my imagination?
Is this the end of the line?
Is it a reconciliation?
Or just a way of killing time?

God only knows
If you promise not to go
I will pay you back in kind
I don't want to be alone
I'm alive, so alive

[Chorus]
