you know that I'd do anything
write a song that we could sing
but we're quickly running out of time
I guess we'll never cross this line

so there's nothing more that I can do
no one's capable of saving you
and so right here I'll stay
as you slowly drift away

living an unfinished race
heart so full of empty space
it's like when you run and you just fall
I guess that I can't have it all

in this sea of loneliness
let your life-raft be my kiss
but every time I turn around
it seems like you would rather drown

the time will come when you are gone
when you will see I was your pawn
then you'll come running back and see
that I'm still waiting hopelessly

to be the one that you still crave
because it's me that you must save
and we can cuddle on your kitchen floor
just to realize what we live for
