You know,
when you want something so much
that when you finally get it
You are terrified you'll lose it?
Well forgive me if
I hold on too tight
I'm afraid that you'll forget I'm yours
and I'll forget you're mine

I look
into your eyes and see the same
doubts in myself
but the same dreams too
Well be patient
when I ask why
You say I'm yours
and you are mine

You are
a beautiful, wild thing
I can't understand
but I want to
I feel at home
when by your side
and you call me yours
and I call you mine

I know
that we have time, but I'm drowning
can you see?
We're battling uphill
But at the end,
I want to find
that I'm still yours
and you're still mine

I see
you standing there, so strong
and I feel weak
because I'm a vile, little thing
I crave you
by my side
saying I am yours
and you are mine

My thoughts
terrify me, so when you ask
"What are you thinking?"
I love and hate it
I'm a cloud
and you're my sky
I darken you,
why would you be mine?
the things you do,
your touch,
your eyes
I'm falling harder
I flew too high
I can't escape
You plague my mind
Will you run from this,
my thunder side?
You have your choice
so why choose me?
I'm not the sun
I'm not a breeze
I'll storm on you
I'll whip and rage
I'm selfish when
I tell you "stay"
I want to know
your deepest fears
I want to catch
your broken tears
I want to hold you
never let go
I want you, dear
so you should know
Forgive me if
I hold on too tight
I'm afraid that you'll forget I'm yours
and I'll forget you're mine
