I need you now
More than I've needed anyone
I'm ready to take that vow
I promise I won't run

If you don't love me
Tell me now
If you want to flee
Then just say ciao

If you want a little more
Say it with your eyes
I don't care if I go poor
I'll sleep with the flies

I give it all to you
Every last bit
We'll always pull through
Every last fit

I'm ready to start our life
We're stuck like glue
I can be your wife
I need you

We've got something
Something really special
I'm not asking for a ring
And I won't bedevil

We both agree
We have something
We can both see
This isn't a fling

We can take things slow
There is no need to rush
We can let our love grow

This isn't just a crush
But slow is good
And you don't want to rush
But I would

My heart soars
This feels fine but
I'm not yours
You're not mine

Big or small
They tell a story
On someone short or tall
It's something about glory
Or how they had to crawl

Some people look away
Some people look in disbelief
Some forget that day
Others live in grief

Wounds to heal
Days to forget
Times to kneel
No time to sweat

They may never share
Of that tragic day
Or they may not even care
About what you have to say

We give them space
We look to the stars
We don't look at their face
We just leave them with their scars

It's harder than it looks
I'm trying not to see
I hide myself in books
My mind I try to flee

I can remember the place
This tragedy I knew
I can still see your face
But I'm trying not to

That night was perfect
I'm trying not to
Trying not to love you

I know if I fall
It will only **** me
My heart you enthrall
You hold the key

I need to clear my mind
All I see is you
With you, love I find
But I'm trying not to

It was like yesterday
Driving in my car
No need to pray
I don't need a wishing star

That night was ours
We held it in our hands
Lying under the stars
Lying in the sands

I can still feel your arm
Wrapped around me
You're loaded with charm
You make me feel free

I found light in your eyes
Safety in your arms
You told me no lies
Just protected me from nights harms

There were no secrets
You kept me from the cold
While I lay on your chest
That night I hold

Turn it up
Drown it out
Say your prayers
Live in doubt

Find what's yours
Don't let it stray
Find what's missing
Chase away the grey

See the light
Catch the day
Take that flight
Find a way
Fight your fight

Face your fears
Find your way
Fight your tears
Turn the other cheek

Find true love
Seek the unknown
Stand above
Turn it up

Just get in the car
Let's drive away
To somewhere really far
Where night meets day

When we run out of gas
That's where we'll stay

I can't stand this place
Nor can you
We'll leave without a trace

We can start new lives
Like people in the movies do

Please just take my hand
Together we'll flee
Together we will stand
Runaway with me
