Текст песни
You asked me once what scares me
I told you almost everything
The dark, the cold, the quiet
The phone calls that might ring
But since you came in swinging
Broke my door right off the frame
The only thing that scares me now
Is loving you the same
'Cause what if this runs out someday?
What if good things end?
What if I'm just a chapter
And you're someone else's pen?
But you laugh and pull me closer
Say then write me every page
So I do, I write you daily
Turn the decades into days
They don't know
How it feels to be the one you need
When you're half-awake and slow
They don't see
That heaven's not above us
It's the space between you and me
And I'll hold you
'Til my arms forget to ache
'Til the doctors call my mother
And say it's too late
'Cause loving you's the only prayer
I know how to make
And if heaven's in your body, let me be the grave
Be the hand on my chest in the middle of the night
(Ai, ai-ai-ai, ai)
And your leg thrown across me like I'm something right
(Ai, ai-ai-ai, ai)
And the way you say my name when you're still half-asleep
(Asleep)
And the promise that we make
Yeah, the promise not to leave
You asked me once what scares me
I said everything that's good
'Cause good things always leave or break
Or get misunderstood
You laughed and said that's stupid
Pulled me closer to the floor
Said then let's be terrified together
What the hell is one fear more?
Now I catch you watching me
The way I used to watch you
Like I might dissolve to nothing
Like I'm something you just caught
And I don't know
If love should feel this much like holding on
To something that could slip away
And leave before the dawn
What if I love you more than I love living?
What if giving everything just means I'm always giving?
What if when they lower me, your name's the only sound?
What if heaven's just the space where I finally let you down?
And I'll hold you
'Til my arms forget to ache
(Ah-ah-ah, ah)
'Til the doctors call my mother
And say it's too late
'Cause loving you's the only prayer
I know how to make
And if heaven's in your body, let me be the grave
And your hand on my chest in the middle of the night
(Ai, ai-ai-ai, ai)
And your leg thrown across me like I'm something right
(Ai, ai-ai-ai, ai)
And the way you say my name when you're still half-asleep
(Sleep)
And the promise that we make
Yeah, the promise not to leave
