when i'm not loving you
i'm loving the idea of death
your hand that grazes across my chin
pushes me to take my next breath
i won't close my eyes
but even if i did i'd never lose sight of you
i just want to see you a little longer
come close, don't you worry
you won't lose me if that's what you're afraid of
sweetheart, hold on to me
you're the only thing that keeps me together and whole
i will cry a sea of salty waves
i will build a volcano straight out of rage
till i can come home to you
have you seen a shooting star
well i have and i've wished
i hoped to god for it to come true
i kept saying in my prayers, please, please, please
then came a library day
dressed in black and white, hiding a shy smile
you looked right at me and all i know is
i just want to see you a little longer
come close, don't you worry
you won't lose me if that's what you're afraid of
sweetheart, hold on to me
you're the only thing that keeps me together and whole
i will cry a sea of salty waves
i will build a volcano straight out of rage
till i can come home to you
it takes a lot, i know
for someone who can't love to love
it takes even more, i'm sure
for someone to love someone who can't be loved
well i love you
and you do too
and this will help us make it through
