Please Be Here

Loved Ones (The)
(album: Keep Your Heart)

Our shadows dance on the bedroom wall
if only this night could last a little longer
for now I´ll hold you close and pretend that I´m not leaving

I know your scars start to feel more sore
on nights like this where I can´t bear to face
the fact that I´m not sure which road makes sense to take

It´s clear to me that you´re the one
who won´t tell lies or turn tail and run
I know you´re tired of feeling like we´re under the gun
just hold on tight my lonely one

This isn´t quite what you bargained for
I know it stings to always prop up on someone whose own
selfish heart seems to be the one that´s beating

But we would die if we just keep score
just give me time I know it feels like you´ve put
everything on hold but I swear I´ll make this right

Heaven knows I need you here
but hell´s stoking up my hopeless fear
oh god please just give this purgatory a little rest
