Someone promise me forever
As far as forever takes this world
Suspend me in an orange sun
Too hot to be a good thing
In this moment I feel so heavy
I’m not going anywhere
Sit beside me here
Where the last of our rivers mist
And when my head begins to dip
I hope it catches the cradle
Of your hands, so cool
Against my burning, tear-tracked cheeks
I hiccup a laugh at a joke you told
And urge my neck to strain
My eyes must be sparkling
When they turn to your light
You smile so bright
And so clear and sharp
Like morning
Cut through me here
Where you know my heart descends
This is how my world ends
I want it to be you
As the world is on fire
Whispering promises and
Holding me closer
To the flame
