I could only say these things to you while you're sleeping
|
I hear the hum from the wires the sounds of the morning creeping
|
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me
|
|
You tell that you're scared that you're turning into your mother
|
I feel myself turnin'to my father
|
We could lie to each other like they do and say we're so happy
|
It's easy when you're young and you still want it so badly
|
|
Well I feel my heart pounding and I think I might scream
|
|
I could tell you that you're all I've ever wanted dear
|
I could utter every word you'd ever hope to hear
|
I shutter when I think that I might not be here forever forever forever
|
|
The night you whispered like a ghost and you looked so shaken
|
You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken
|
I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that
|
You suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp
|
|
Your eyes so wide your face a-glow
|
It's the face of someone I don't know
|
|
I could tell you that you're all I've ever wanted dear
|
I could utter every word you'd ever hope to hear
|
I shutter when I think that I might not be here forever forever forever
|
|
And all I can think is that it must be a kind of rebellion
|
To arm your fears like soldiers and sly them
|
|
I can tell you that you're all I've ever wanted dear
|
Through the din of your breathing while you're sleeping here
|
You wake and you ask me if I'm gonna be here forever forever forever
|
Your face so twisted and your eyes a-light
|
I wanna tell you I can change you when you cry at night but I'd be lying
|
Love is defying!
