lyrics
Well if I told how much I need you to stay
Will you still go anyway?
Would it sway you either way?
Or if I bought you flowers, would you take me too?
Could I mean that much to you?
Tell me what there is that I could do... to get to you
If two and two was five and day was night instead
Would you love me then?
Enough to take me back again
If I was Fred Astaire, well would you even care
About the clothes I wear
Would you still be happy in the air... if I was there
This is how we let things go
There's nothing that I wouldn't trade
for one more fucking second in your arms
Oh no, I spoke too slow
You'll see the world and everything will help you to forget about me
Am I another heart left in the bitter wake?
Another cute mistake?
Just a consequence for you to date?
I swore that there was more to what you said to me
About eternity
And how it's only long if you're alone...
I can only sigh and watch you go
