If the world caught fire tomorrow leaving we two the only survivors,
I think that things could be alright, because I think that you and I could
Sift through the ashes, make morbid jokes and talk about the rain
and the things that we missed and the things we did not and thing things we wished hadn't changed.
And if, when the flames subsided our living hell were to freeze over,
you and I could keep each other warm, sleeping close, each other's cover.
Because you are all I need in the world. It is that simple.
Darling, if only you would pour your heavy heart into my hands
I'd let the coals slip through my fingers until gold was all we had.
If you and I were the last on earth, well, that would be alright,
Because no one else has ever loved me, ever proved that they would fight
For me the way that you did the night I dove into the sea
and you braved the waves and rising tides and swam out after me.
I don't know what I was looking for, out there in the ocean.
Maybe it was a trick of the moon, a spell cast from perfection.
I was convinced that once I'd hit the bottom, I'd never again look the direction
of the surface.
But. You reminded me to come up for air.
I have everything I need in you. My terra firma, my everything. And I promise, on my love for you, I won't go back out to sea.
