When I wait for your lungs
To let me in again
Sometimes I'm not sure
Whether I've fanned the flames
Or overblown this little fire
Down to limping coals
I miss your voice in my night
Even though I know
It cannot stay
Burning like a heart exposed
We could be less composed
I thought I heard your beat
In my head, beneath my feet
When you've waited a breath
You'll say you feel the same;
Some things will never change
But it's the world spinning round
That will shake us, shape us, shift us
Further and farther away
Love me until dawn
Keep me until night
Hold me until
Burning like a coal composed
We should be less exposed
I thought I held your heat
In my heart, beneath my feet
