lyrics

i’m not so bold that i could think that there’s a place you’d rather be
that i could think that all these words would somehow reach
from my house to yours
i’m not so old that i won’t let the laws of gravity take hold
no fear that i would rather kill than to indulge
but if we let these arms reach
would you lie awake like me?
a feeling i can’t shake knowing what’s at stake
does it just feel right this time? does your city sleep like mine?
im not so tired that i’d go calling out your name into the dark
that I can’t tell that this is how a fire starts
but if we let these flames breathe
would you lie awake like me?
a feeling i can’t shake knowing what’s at stake
does it just feel right this time? does your city sleep like mine?
