Though I'm falling apart, it seems,
you've given me all I need
to weather the storm.
Hold tight, I'll be along in dreams.
Life is about to be like never before.
When you breathe,
you put me on my knees.
And you hold my gaze.
And when I close my eyes,
I'm closer than ever.
It took me forever
to feel this way.
When you speak,
the pain is a pleasure,
it only gets better,
a fever that burns me slow.
And now I've seen your face.
You're part of a life that I want
and I won't let go.
Long nights guarding a broken dream,
looking to days gone by
instead of the future.
Whole lives lost in the dark, it seems,
you give me what we all need:
a reason to be here.
When you breathe,
the welcome warmth I feel,
your welcome voice I hear.
And when I close my eyes,
I'm closer than ever.
The pain is a pleasure
if I feel this way.
When you speak,
I swallow what you say
and feed on what you are.
And now I've seen your face.
You know I can't be close,
but I'm not so far.
You know I can't be close,
but I'm not so far.
When you breathe,
you put me on my knees.
And when I close my eyes,
I'm closer than ever.
It took me forever
to feel this way.
When you speak,
the pain is a pleasure,
it only gets better,
a fever that burns me slow.
And now I've seen your face.
You're part of a life that I want
and I won't let go.
When you breathe,
you put me on my knees.
