My Important Things

Come away with me
we’ll go down to new Orleans
Get on the bus with me
And we’ll spend the time
In comfortable silence
Separated from the distance

I'm out of my mind
because I can't help but wonder
when you became one of the important things
You’re my everything
My important thing

Now I’m asking
Can we repeat the years over and over?
Give me one more year if just for a minute
Give me over and over
Give me the small moments
I'll cherish them over and over

You don't even know, you don’t even know
And I can't explain, I can’t explain
The difference you make
Each day I'm waking up to "Good Morning"
And every night I'm going to bed
With the promise of over and over

I’m having a heart attack
I'm out of my mind
because I can't help but wonder
when you became one of the important things
You’re my everything
My important thing

And I’ve never laughed so hard
I think I might die
You’re my laughing gas
Because my chest never felt so light
Is this an illusion; A siren’s hallucination
I'm reliving these moments
Over and over
And I won't, oh I won't share

I must be playing a fools game
Because I’m so attached
Being honest, So open
Showing you the broken pieces
Hoping we never drift apart
Separated by distance again

Though I am prepared
For when you disappear...
disappear from my world
And become a stranger again

I can see it now
I'll be calling your name
Over and over
I'll be falling apart
over and over
I'll be missing you
over and over

So, I don’t want forever
And I don’t need you to give me everything

Because you, you’ll never know  
I'm out of my mind (I’m losing my mind)
Because I can't help but wonder
When you became one of the important things
You’re my everything
My important thing

You’ll be my important thing
Over and Over
