My heart yearns for a love that can not die,
for a love that burns so bright even the sun fills with envy.
My heart waits for its other half,
but it seems as useless as dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon
and waiting for the echo..

Your heart yearns for a love that can not die,
for a love that burns so bright even the sun fills with envy.
Your heart waits for compassion,
but you're getting tired of picking up the crumbs thrown from the one who's supposed to care..

My heart wonders what it would be like to feel your touch,
to know the warmth your heart could offer.
My heart cowers though,
because who wouldn't be afraid of jumping off a building with no parachute?

Your heart longs to feel my breath on your neck,
to feel your sadness escape only leaving behind my fingers tracing your every curve.
Your heart cowers though,
because who wouldn't be afraid of falling, when there is no one to catch them?
