Lay down beside me and wrap yourself around me

Place your skin over mine so we can forget what we’ve been missing

It’s been so long waiting to be kissing

Away all the trouble from your mouth

This long lasting love drought

It’s agreed I’d bleed to be with you

It’s true I’d die young if we could spend my last days as one

I’d lie, I’d die, I’d learn how to touch the sky

To fall into your arms

I’m picturing it now, but reality won’t allow

Me to wake up with you

You’re in my heart, but we’re in the dark

Still waiting for the daylight to reach its final height

I’ve given up wishing but I’m still lifting

This leather tough life

Into the palms of my hands

Watching it slip between my fingers

Like water through a sieve

Or a moment lived in lost dreams

I need to love you not one day but today

I want you to get caught up in me like sand grains in my hair

Stick to me like honey

Or flow over my body like water from the shower

Wear away my layers like rain on rock

Uncover my skin like tissue paper

The more I think about it

The closer I get to you

And the closer I get to you

The more I want you right here right now

Breathe me not with sadness but with loving longing

Forgiven pasts and a future vast

Together at last
