Maybe if I hold you,
i'll be able to protect you,

maybe if I hold you tighter,
your heart will get lighter,

maybe if I hold you for a long time,
you'll stay longer,

maybe if I hold you tighter,
you'll hear my heart beat faster,

maybe if I hold you closer,
I can hear your heart match mine,

maybe if I squeeze you,
you'll fill my ears with giggles,

maybe if I squeeze too tight,
you'll leave...you just might,

you squeeze me back,
and whisper softly,

*you don't have to squeeze so tightly,
i'm not going anywhere
